This southern Chatham beach has something for everyone. With some small waves, this beach is a fun place to swim (only in marked swimming areas). You will also find places to launch your sailboat or kayak. For those who would rather hang out on the sand, beach bocce is a popular local activity, as are volleyball, frisbee, and wiffleball. This beach is also known for its nice sand, making it a great place to just read a book or relax in the sun. A trail behind the beach will take you to the nearby Stage Harbor Lighthouse.

Beach amenities include restrooms and showers, food, and a picnic area. There is a lifeguard on duty during the summer months.
