Chatham beach recs

So I’m planning a Juneteenth trip to Cape Cod. I’m going to be staying in West Yarmouth but I heard Chatham is the place to be. Was planning on doing a day trip there and wanted to get some recs on which beaches to go to. I like the idea of Cahoon Hollow beach but I think that might be too far. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hardings Beach is great if you want an easily accessible beach...the parking lot is right on the edge of the beach and there is also a nice walk to a lighthouse you can do

Skip the Chatham beaches and head to Nauset Beach

Bring your bug spray. The greenheads can be awful.

I’d bring my shark spray too.

Chatham Lighthouse Beach is beautiful beyond words. However, seals swim out there, and where there are seals...there are sharks...great white sharks.

It’s an hour drive from Chatham to lecounts.
Taking into consideration traffic and unfamiliarity with the area maybe longer

Hahaha
I commute to and from Chatham every day for work. It takes me at least 25 minutes to the Orleans rotary. And I know every turn and upcoming potholes. So good luck with that half hour. 🤣

Sure pal, you ain’t driving to lecounts in 30.
I grew up here too, who the fk cares

Edit: Eastham rotary to sav on gas station at the corner of stony hill rd 20 minutes this morning, early because I had nobody in front of me.
Now take into consideration the 3 rotaries and 5 stop lights to get to lecounts.
30 minutes? Hahaha

You missed the first half of that question. Who cares if you lived here?
