Chatham is located at the southeast tip of Massachusetts and halfway down the 75-mile-long Cape Cod Peninsula. To the east is the Atlantic Ocean, to the South is Nantucket Sound, and to the north is Pleasant Bay. Cool summer sea breezes, warm Indian summers, and mild winters make Chatham a place to vacation year-round.
Whether you are an avid fisherman or a boater, Chatham is your homeport to the ocean. Take a seal tour or watch them follow the fishing fleet into the Chatham Fish Pier. If the water is not your thing, relax on the beach with miles of pristine white sand.
This stunning town is blessed with beautiful scenery and offers many Nature Trails and Parks for biking and hiking. If golf is your passion, there are beautiful golf courses overlooking the Atlantic. If you enjoy visiting historic places and museums, there are some of the best-preserved homes and buildings in the area. The Old Village protects more than 300 historic properties.
Chatham is well known for its fresh fish and seafood. While many restaurants feature the “catch of the day” and other local favorites, there is no lack of other fares, including Italian, French, Continental, Asian, and, of course, good old traditional American.
