Chatham Light, Cape Cod

Absolutely beautiful scenery. Wonderful beach to walk! (not so much for swimming due to sharks and rip tide)

Our kids had visited Mayflower beach but together we were able to visit Chatham Lighthouse and the beach across the street. We descended upon the stairs on beautiful white sand towards the beach. It wasn't as busy when we visited. The water was clear however there was a number of dead jelly fish that was ashored. We were just walking on the beach with our kids which they fished for crabs and watched the jellyfish in the water. It's a great place to sun and for kids watch the ocean wild life. The few things to note is that the portable bathrooms are located above the stairs, so if you have kids, don't go far. There are no restaurants or vendors on the beach, so should come prepared with food and beverage. The water and tides were low when we visited so pretty safe for little ones.

Beautiful view of Chatham Harbor, very peaceful, calm water and very family friendly!

You can walk to the shack and spend the day...

We walked all the way toward the ocean side and sat by the tide pools for awhile. It was clean and had a lot of interesting things to see: the historical sea shack, mating hermit crabs, and interesting bird clawprints.

The Beach in Chatham in front of the Coast Guard Lighhouse with its expansive walking area and view from the road is truly treasure to the area!

Less crowed, less seaweed, colder than the others though

Large beach, always lots of space to spread out. Great views, well maintained and close to house (1 mile). Great place for morning walks.

Beautiful views of the bars, great for long walks and just enjoying being in the sand!

We spent 2 days on this beach, one with a photographer who we feel captured the beautiful beach scenes as well as the vast ocean. So scenic! Lots of space for all! Wear your mask and feel comfortable!
