Chatham is a traditional town on Massachusetts' historic Cape Cod. English setters first arrived in 1665, and the town was incorporated in 1712 and named after a town in Kent.

In the summer, guests come here to fish, sail, kayak, bike, hike, or simply lounge on the beach. During the quieter seasons, Chatham offers numerous festivals and celebrations for the local community and out-of-town visitors. Whether you come in the summer or during the winter holidays, take your time to enjoy Chatham's pleasant scenery, outdoor attractions and nostalgic ambience.
