Chatham
Chatham is known for its special main street, filled with boutiques, gourmet candy shops,
andrestaurants.IfyoufindyourselfthereonaFriday,theeveningbandconcerts,heldfrom

put down their blankets as early as 6 a.m. in order to save their favorite spots around the
bandstand.
The talk of the town remains the “Chatham breakthrough” of 1987, when a powerful
nor'easter broke through the protective barrier beach outside Chatham harbor. Another
storm in 1992 widened the gap and exposed miles of coastline to the ocean's rages. Across
the drawbridge, Chatham Light tells another compelling tale: Look 200 feet offshore to the
wave-torn spot where the original Chatham Light stood until a tempest felled it in 1841.
