30 Main St, Chatham, MA 0263315089455199Read ReviewsView Beach Information

One of Chatham’s most scenic spots, located near the iconic Chatham Lighthouse. This expansive beach offers dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean and is a favorite for sunbathing and strolling along the shoreline. Due to strong currents, swimming here is limited, but the breathtaking scenery makes up for it. Parking is limited, and there is no designated lot, so visitors often park and walk from nearby streets. Lifeguards are present, and beach fires are not allowed.

Looking down from the wooden stairs that lead down the sand at a sprawling fine-sand beach. The beach is crowded with beach grass, cutting paths in several direction before the water. The sky is blue with some thin clouds.
