The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Chatham, Massachusetts (MA)

May 15, 2022 Merry Kessler

This pleasant, walkable town right at the elbow of Cape Cod is a classic New England vacation spot. Bringing kids? Check out calm beaches like Cockle Cove Beach and Harding’s Beach. If you’re looking for stunning scenery, however, try Chatham Lighthouse Beach. Its tides can be strong (heed the posted warnings), but it’s one of the most beautiful beaches on the Cape.

This place is the bomb! Everything we tried was amazing! Our favorites were the chocolate covered cherries, sea salt caramels, toffee, and raspberry jellies. Soooo good. We waited in line to get in. It was well worth the wait.

We visited last week, on a very wet day in Chatham, as we were looking for something indoors to do, and most things were closed as it was the end of September. This place was a lucky find, we must have spent a good couple of hours there and could have taken longer. The tour of the original old house that forms part of the site, the beach cabin out back, the displays of clothing, shells and war history were all fascinating. We especially enjoyed learning about the story of the rescue of the crew members from the Pendleton shipwreck. The staff here are friendly, and informative, thoroughly recommended if you're in Chatham

Chatham Sport Fishing

Chatham Sport Fishing is one of the only charters on the Cape that offers charters of less than 4 hours. Trips of 2, 3 and 4 hours are family-friendly. After years of taking our own children out fishing, we've recognized the need for a shorter charter for the young ones or those who just wish to try fishing the Cape without a 4 hour commitment. We specialize in striped bass and blues fishing.
