START YOUR DAY AT:

Three Fins Coffee opened 5 minutes from my house! I take my latte to go and watch the sunrise at Lighthouse Beach.

SPEND YOUR MORNING:

Morning errands include the Transfer Station and I always leave happy after chatting with the crew there, followed by a cozy breakfast at Hangar B. Their Eggs Benny is the creamiest texture of a perfectly poached egg with the tangy hollandaise sauce. This is consumed with joy. Nearby is Heather Rose & Co., where I pick up flowers for the shop. Heather Rose & Co. is a lovely and local florist offering unique gifts, bouquets for special occasions and home decor.

GRAB LUNCH AT:

On a beautiful day, the Chatham Fish Pier is a must. Everything on the menu is fresh. You can also watch local fishermen unload their catch and enjoy seal sightings in the harbor.

SPEND YOUR AFTERNOON:

Walk the loop! Park at Oyster Pond, cross the Mitchell River Bridge aka the Clickity Clack Bridge, pass the Coast Guard Station and Lighthouse Beach and make your way through Main St. to visit all the shops!

INDULGE IN A TREAT AT:

Short n Sweet. It's our happy place.

END YOUR DAY AT:

Namazu Ramen is Chatham's new ramen spot and it's top tier. My 11 year old wishes he can eat here every night.

BONUS – HIDDEN GEM OR INSIDER TIP:

Sylvan's Gardens on Old Main St. Spring treasures abound: thousands of bulbs cluster throughout the gardens, Vincas blanket the grounds and Sweet Bay Magnolia wafts its sweet lemon fragrance throughout the trails. More importantly, it has an ADA approved walking path!
