About

With its expansive sandy beach Chatham Light Beach is a great place to walk along the water. Due to strong currents and tides, some sections of the beach are closed to swimming. But there still is plenty to do. Aside from walking, one can watch the seals, build sandcastles, sunbathe, or admire the nearby lighthouse.

We walked all the way toward the ocean side and sat by the tide pools for awhile. It was clean and had a lot of interesting things to see: the historical sea shack, mating hermit crabs, and interesting bird clawprints.

The Beach in Chatham in front of the Coast Guard Lighhouse with its expansive walking area and view from the road is truly treasure to the area!

Large beach, always lots of space to spread out. Great views, well maintained and close to house (1 mile). Great place for morning walks.

We spent 2 days on this beach, one with a photographer who we feel captured the beautiful beach scenes as well as the vast ocean. So scenic! Lots of space for all! Wear your mask and feel comfortable!

Beautiful views and soft sand! Parking is drop-off only, so you do need a Beach pass to park on Bridge Street.

Quiet and not crowded....since we had bikes we were able to do drop off and pick up with the car first and then someone would ride a bike back to the beach. There isn't parking but a shuttle service to the beach on Main St. in Chatham. That seemed to work ok for others! No amenities and only portable bathrooms, but the location and beauty of the beach is worth spending a day!

Chatham Light beach is a quiet beach, not nearly as crowded as most. The sand is soft and white and wide stretches of beach available. Water is cool. View of the lighthouse behind, and the fishing boats pass by with lots of seagulls chasing their next meal. Occasional seal might follow too on their way to the fish pier.
