Chatham Light
Chatham, Massachusetts
Introduction
This 1808 lighthouse replaced the earlier two lights (known as the “Twin Sisters of Chatham”). Exceptional views can be found here and the famous Chatham fogs make it a wonderful aerie for photographers. Beneath these waves are some of the most dangerous waters along the Cape Cod coast. One will find few spots on the entire east coast of North America that can equal the view at “The Light.” Drive down Main Street to the lighthouse and park for a spell. Visitors will see cars from nearly every state as they gaze over the majestic Atlantic. For a close-up view try the public telescopes. Nearby is the Coast Guard Station ready to answer many emergencies involving distressed mariners, fishermen, or summer folk with problems on the water. Please observe and obey the parking signs as posted there. This is a fine spot to view the well-known “Breakthrough in North Beach.” Lighthouse Tours are offered during the season and at First Night.
