What to do and see in Chatham, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
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.

5.0 based on 64 reviews
The Monomoy Theatre is supported by the remarkable Chatham and Cape community as well as the University of Hartford and The Friends of Monomoy Theatre. Unlike so many summer theaters where the students serve as apprentices with the task of supporting professional designers, technicians and performers, the Monomoy Theatre is a student driven operation. We engage professional theatre artists to serve, in a very real way, as teachers, mentors and examples for the students to follow and from whom the students can learn. In twelve weeks, eight shows ranging from hit musicals to Shakespeare are designed, rehearsed, built and performed. It's a fast-paced, enriching and extraordinary creative environment that provides a challenging and rewarding artistic experience to these talented young artists as well as our audiences. The Monomoy Theatre has launched many successful careers and offers a theatrical experience you are unlikely to find anywhere else in the country. Visit us this summer!

Harding Beach is on the bay side of Chatham and is wonderful for families. There is a large parking lot with easy access to the sandy beach. There are no waves here and a slow drop off so great for swimming. In the summer there is a lifeguard. We haven't seen seals at this beach and feel safer swimming for that reason although there is a shark warning on the life guard stand. A great place to visit or for a picnic off-season.

Blue water, purple & red flowers, greenery separated sandy beach area. 30 minute parking-plenty of time for photos, reading the various outdoor displays. Certainly not enough time to walk down to the beach area if planning a days outing. But definitely worth experiencing. You can see the shoals that claimed ships and lives over the years. Walk across the street to the Lighthouse; USCoast Guard properly and an obelisk monument erected to the crew of the Pendleton who were lost at sea as well as the rescuers. Beauty, breathtaking, and sad-all at the same time!
