Lighthouse Beach, Chatham's largest, is located on the Atlantic Ocean side of Chatham. The water is much cooler than other Chatham beaches, but its long-stretching sands make it a great place to visit. Parking is restricted to 30 minutes so it's best to arrive by bike, foot, or shuttle bus. The lighthouse makes this beach a very popular destination. The beach is lacking in amenities--there are no washrooms, lifeguards, or food--but it makes up for it with its beautiful views.
