The Chatham Pier is an active, working fishing port where you can watch local fishermen unloading their catch, typically between 1-2 pm. An observation deck offers visitors a prime view of the unloading process, where species like cod, lobster, and even the impressive bluefin tuna are brought in. Seals often gather near the boats, hoping for scraps, adding to the spectacle. The pier also serves as a launch point for various seal-watching tours and trips to the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. Visitors can park in the upper lot, while the lower lot is reserved for permit holders​.

A foggy morning, a boat is docked by the pier in the blue gray Chatham morning. A couple faint but warm yellow lights from under the dock break up the cool dim air. Behind the boar, farther down the shoreline, other boats can be seen pulled to the shore on the water.
