A key feature of Chatham’s coastal landscape, the Chatham Lighthouse has stood since 1808, providing a beacon for mariners navigating the treacherous waters off Cape Cod. This working lighthouse offers tours during the summer season, typically on Wednesdays, allowing visitors to climb to the top for panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Monomoy Island. It's an important symbol of Chatham’s maritime heritage, with an informative display on the history of shipwrecks and coastal rescues in the area. The lighthouse is still operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and continues to serve its original purpose while also offering educational insights into the town’s nautical past.

A tall white lighthouse is coupled with a barn-style house. It stands at the end of the large grass front yard. Beyond the lighthouse and it's flank barn there is a gorgeous golden red sunset blazing like a fire approaching.
