Oceanfront::
Our Chatham Harbor oceanfront parcel is a broad, pleasant bay seascape for recreation. Although naturally beautiful, it is not like a public beach. There are 2.6 acres of mostly meadow with 300' of oceanfront dunes, tidal flats, & shore grasses between the sand & the water with a short narrow path. Leave our beach chairs, umbrellas, 'toys', etc. tucked away in our private dunes during your stay and come & go to the house directly across the road 300' from the ocean (no scheduling, driving, hauling!). The activity list is endless: kayak (e.g. short paddle to 2 islands with isolated beaches!!); canoe; tube; fish; run kites; shell-seek for endless varieties (bring your water shoes!); surf-cast at midnight; swim (best at high tide); build sandcastles that no one disturbs; sunbathe; clam; late night shore campfires & s'mores; gourmet picnics at the house or at the shore; launch your sailboat from the town landing just north of the property; etc. Or, if you prefer a public beach, 5 are...
