Oyster Pond is a sunny, open beach right in Chatham. Popular with families and small children. Parking is free, but fills up quickly.
Smaller CALM BEACH….you could walk out really far- really nice for the little ones. An ice cream truck even came by for goodies. Indoor plumbing a big plus!

Usually Hardings Beach, but due to the high temps this past summer, jellyfish and Man O' War were a problem. We found Oyster Bay in Chatham to be perfect for our 11month old.

Close to the home [Chatham Vacation Rental ID 25326], small beach but the easy access to the parking pad. Water was also warmer than Lighthouse beach.

Perfect beach for families with small children. Unfortunately, no surf, but warm water, very gentle slope, and sandy bottom extending out at least 100 yds, and 2 floating platforms to swim to. Gentle slope means a lot of shallow water for everyone to play in without feeling crowded. Friends recommended it, and it's now our go-to beach.
