Chatham Light Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Chatham Light and Chatham Light Beach are on the"elbow" of Cape Cod and are an iconic part of the area. The lighthouse is still in operation by the U.S. Coast Guard station, where Search and Rescue, maritime law enforcement, and Homeland Security missions are carried out from here. From the road you can see both the lighthouse and the beach, where there are often seals (and occasionally sharks!) swimming in the water.

Mitchell River Drawbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The new Mitchell River Drawbridge was completed in 2016. The previous historic drawbridge was one of the wooden bridges that have spanned Mill Pond and its access to Stage Harbor and the bay to the sea for more than 150 years. The bridge is considered the last remaining wooden drawbridge in the United States and has been listed for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

Downtown Chatham

Highlight (Segment) • Settlement

Chatham is the quintessential Cape Cod seaside town. There are many cute shopping boutiques, local restaurants and bars, and coffee and candy shops. This is a great stop on the way to the beach!
