Chatham Lighthouse Beach

To get to this magnificent waterfront destination from downtown Chatham, drive or walk a mile southeast. Chatham Lighthouse Beach constantly receives high acclaim and awards for its beautiful vistas and cleanliness. In fact, it is frequently regarded as one of Cape Cod's most beautiful beaches. Aside from taking in the scenery, you may also go on a nature walk or examine the working lighthouse.

Chatham Lighthouse Beach, a long beach that is rarely crowded due to a lack of parking, is praised for its cleanliness and vistas. Most days, this beach a mile southeast of downtown Chatham provides excellent swimming conditions. However, lifeguards do not monitor this stretch of sand, so pay heed to the colored flags on the beach - red flags indicate that it is unsafe to swim. If you can't swim during your stay, take a nature walk to see passing fishing boats and migratory seals. Alternatively, enjoy the beach's operational lighthouse, which is periodically available for climbing.
