Things To Do
Chatham Squire
Chatham Squire is perfectly located in the center of town and hosts a range of options for lunch and dinner. It also serves as one of the town's most popular bars in the evening.
Chatham Cookware
Though they no longer sell cookware, this restaurant offers a variety of locally themed sandwiches and breakfast items worth considering for a quick bite in town!
Impudent Oyster
Just off of main street, Impudent Oyster provides an "old Cape Cod" atmosphere with a long list of fantastic food options for a sit-down lunch or dinner! You may want to make reservations for dinner, as tables are known to fill up quickly.
Mac's Chatham Fish & Lobster
Mac's doubles as a fish market and sandwich shop, offering the freshest shellfish and fish fillets you'll find without catching them yourself! Definitely worth considering for a lobster roll lunch or if you'd like to dine-in at your rental location.
Chatham Bars Inn
Even if you aren't staying at the most iconic, seaside resort on Cape Cod, you might want to consider a cocktail or formal dinner at their restaurant. Gourmet food and views overlooking the ocean await if you reserve a table at this location.
Wild Goose Tavern
Centrally located on Main Street, Wild Goose is always busy with tourists and locals alike enjoying lunch, happy hour, and semi-formal dinner options.
Chatham Candy Manor
Chatham Candy Manor has spent 65 years perfecting the traditions of the old-school chocolatier. Chatham Candy Manor is located in the center of town and has the most delicious candies and fudge!
Hardings Beach
Hardings has been the Berghausen family's favorite beach since buying their Chatham home over 30 years ago! This beach offers ample parking for a flat daily rate and direct access to Hardings Beach Trail, which ends at Stage Harbor Lighthouse. Hardings offers warm and calm waters, as it faces Nantucket Sound instead of the open Atlantic Ocean.
Lighthouse Beach
Lighthouse Beach is named for Chatham Lighthouse across the street and is located right next to our wedding reception venue. The views of the Atlantic Ocean are absolutely spectacular from this destination! Parking is somewhat limited, but free. You could even consider walking to this beach from Main Street, given its proximity to downtown Chatham.
Nauset Beach
Nauset Beach is one of Cape Cod's most frequented beach destinations by tourists. It is in a town next to Chatham called Orleans, and is well-worth the short drive. This beach offers wide stretches of sandy beach and Atlantic Ocean views for miles, and whales have even been known to breach close enough to be seen from shore!
Nantucket
Nantucket, MA is a small island off of the coast of Cape Cod, and was founded as a whaling village hundreds of years ago. It has since become one of the most beautiful–and expensive–places to vacation in the United States! There are multiple ferry options to reach Nantucket, and you should definitely consider a day-trip or overnight excursion to this iconic destination. Shopping, fine dining, museum tours, and seeing the summer homes of the rich and famous are what to expect if you decide to venture here!
Boston
We highly encourage anyone enjoying an extended vacation in MA to spend some time in Boston! Some of our personal favorite excursions to consider are visits to Fenway Park, museum trips, and the Boston Duck Tours.
