Chatham & Cape Attractions  
   

With its convenient mid-Cape locations, Wequassett Inn offers easy access to all that Cape Cod offers.

The picturesque town of Chatham boasts a classic Main Street with upscale shops, bookstores, art galleries and genteel homes. Chatham has a rich seafaring history, a railroad museum, baseball team and summer band concerts in the park. It is also the gateway to the offshore Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, an important birding habitat.

In surrounding towns, you can enjoy nearby golf, sailing, fishing, whale watching, bicycling, horseback riding, museums, theatre and much more. Daytrips to the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard or a day of shopping or antiquing along historic Route 6A are also easily arranged.
