Things To Do
Main Street
Quaint street full of quirky tourist shops. Fun to walk around, and home to the legendary "Candy Manor", among other notable locales. Cute stores and friendly locals, and also one of the few places in the world you can buy a dried horseshoe crab painted blue.
Chatham Lighthouse
Historic Chatham Lighthouse. Also happens to be across the street from one of our favorite beaches to stroll on.
Chatham Pier Fish Market
Absolutely AMAZING fish and chips. THE place to go in Cape Cod for the best you’ll ever have. There’s limited outdoor seating, but it keeps well if you buy it and head home. While you wait for your order, you can also stroll down the pier and look at seals.
Chatham Candy Manor
Located in the heart of Main Street, this adorable little candy shop is the perfect place for souvenirs. From fresh saltwater taffy to bricks of fudge, it’s a wonderous if not overwhelming little shop!
Short 'n' Sweet Ice Cream
Our favorite ice cream shop on the cape. Friendly owner, huge selection of flavors, all of them great. Perfect for the afternoon or even after dinner.
The Lanyard Bar & Grill
Nice hearty local restaurant with great seafood.
Chatham Filling Station
Wonderful little breakfast place. Great crab cakes and biscuits and gravy.
Yankee II Deep Sea Fishing Charter
A four hour deep sea fishing charter! Leaves daily at 8am and comes back at noon. A fun trip that lets you enjoy being on the coast. There are many in the area, but this is the one we ended up doing the most. They don't REALLY have a website, and its best to call.
