This
beach is a smaller family-oriented beach, situated next to Forest
Street Beach on the warm, calm waters of Nantucket Sound and at
the end of Pleasant Street in South Chatham. Unlike the larger town beaches
it features free parking for a limited amount of cars on a first-come
first-served basis.
It's
a great retreat from the crowds of Hardings and Ridgevale beaches,
but in contrast, there are no lifguards, bathrooms or snack bar.
Keep the kids happy with treats from the ice-cream truck, which
does make frequent stops.
It
makes a great launch toward Monomoy or Whychmere Harbor for sailboats
and kayaks and has been known as a favorite spot for professional
wind surfers and para-surfers. Those who rent or live in the
neighborhood should not miss the gorgeous sunsets here and it's also
a popular moonlight stroll for those who rent or live in the area.
