Explore Cape Cod Chatham
Chatham, known for its stunning scenery and unique flair, is full of delicious food and endless activities.

CHATHAM is known for its incredible scenery, quintessential Cape aesthetic and impressive coastal attractions.
Give yourself an entire day to take in all that Chatham has to offer both on and off Main Street. Fuel up for the day at Chatham Cookware, get your hair-of-the-dog at Chatham Squire, catch the island vibes at Aplaya Kitchen + Tiki Bar, crack open fresh seafood at the Impudent Oyster, or share clean local cuisine and fine wine at the new Drifters Cape Cod. Fill your pantry, closet and home with must-haves from Fisherman’s Daughter, Sundance Clothing, Yankee Ingenuity, If The Shoe Fits, The Artful Hand Gallery, Where The Sidewalk Ends, Gustare Gourmet and the Mayflower Shop.
Just out of the thick of it, but still close by, you’ll find more fantastic culinary offerings. Mom & Pops has your messy-in-the-best-way burgers, all-day breakfast or brunch in a vintage-inspired roadside diner at Chatham Filling Station, the freshest seafood on the fly at Mac’s Chatham Fish & Lobster, or Branches Grill for colorful Caribbean fare. Don your sunnies and lunch like Cape Cod royalty on the water at The Beach House at Chatham Bars Inn, or be casual at Chatham Pier Fish Market with lobster rolls you can enjoy while watching the seals play beneath the pier. Aerophiles will love Hangar B at the Chatham Airport where you can watch small planes take flight over lunch. If the weather is right, take off on a sightseeing ride with Stick’n Rudder Aero Tours. Fall in love with local art at Local Color Art Gallery or the Chatham Creative Arts Center. For dinner without the kids, book a babysitter and make a resy at Bluefins, Chatham Cut, Del Mar or Pate’s.
To appreciate the coastline and breathe in the salt air, drive out to Chatham Light, hike the Morris Island Trails at Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, explore the Forest Beach Conservation Area, watch the daily catch come in at the Chatham Fish Pier, or learn about the Cape’s apex predator at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy.
