Chatham is at the 'Elbow' of Cape Cod. Because of its geographic position, there are perfect stretches of ocean beach-front, more tranquil beaches on Nantucket Sound, and a serene town beach on saltwater Oyster Pond. There is a nature preserve on Morris Island where you can hike and sight-see from the ocean bluffs, or take a boat tour to see the large seal population off Monomoy Island (they swim right up to the boat!). Downtown Chatham is an eclectic mix of galleries, restaurants, and shops of every description. Every Friday night in the summer, there is a band concert at the town pavilion. Cape League's 'Chatham A's' play here.
