Chatam on Cape Cod in Massachusetts June 2015
====================================
Would you like to see the play ground of fabulously wealthy who call a stunningly beautiful coastal town their summer home then you must head for Chatam Massachusetts. There are couple of ways to get to Chatam but the key to turn your drive into a memorable one lies in picking the right route. But first you have to get to Cape Cod. The popular destination Cape Cod is a peninsula shaped like an arm of a muscular man(not mine for sure) bent up, fist tight -- arm that sticks out into the Atlantic ocean. If Cod is an arm, Chatam is at elbow. Cape Cod may be world removed from the hustle and bustle of Boston yet it is just a short drive away.
To start things off from Boston downtown you need to get on interstate I-93 and drive south; when you get to Rt 3 take it and head south. Before you cross the beautiful bridge Sagamore, it is a decision time. If you have all day to spare then you should get on Rt 6 going west and when you are in Buzzards Bay vicinity take Rt 28 south that would take you to Falmouth and continue towards Chatam. If you are short on time then you should take Rt 6 east, cross Sagamore bridge and keep driving until you come across Rt 132. Go south and now you see Cape Cod Mall a good place for a break, grab a bite to eat, fill up gas etc. Now you are in the heart of Cape Cod and look for Rt 28 and drive south east on it. Now that the logistics out of your way it is time to take a deep breath, slow down, cruise along the coast and get ready to see nice sights on the way.
Spring time transforms New England into one of the most beautiful places on the planet and there is no better place to savor the splendor than here in Cape Cod. In Chatam it is easy to find free parking and it is time to ditch your vehicle because walking is the fun part here. Give yourself plenty of time to walk around the town square. You can't help but fall in love with wonderfully decorated store fronts with seasonal flowers. There are tons of boutique shops to browse and marvel at all the stuff the super rich buy. The town of Chatam is always in festive mood and there is always something going on. It is around this time you are going to come in direct contact with some ultra super rich folks of local residents and visitors alike. You will see lots of people dressed in pastel colors; I guess that's the color the affluent wear. The last time I had seen so many pastels was at the Centre Court of Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, England.
If rubbing shoulders with ultra rich is not your thing then walk east on Main St towards bay where the lighthouse is located. Here you would get to spend time on a nice family beach with lots of visitors, with tons of room on the sandy shore front to stroll around. If you are lucky you will spot some seals playing around in the shallow waters. You will not miss the lighthouse because it is right by the beach and it is one of the prominent landmarks of the town.
If you still not ready to call it a day, I have a nice place just for you to see and in my opinion is the best spot in Chatam that many tourists forget to visit. Walk back towards town but instead of going back in to town you should walk towards Rt 28 via Shore Rd. You will see an iconic Chatam Bars Inn set high on a hill on your left overlooking the bay that is on your right. You get the best views of the harbor from this spot. You can loop back into town square via Seaview St and see some local upscale mansions on the way.
I may not be able to afford to live in Chatam but I can go see how locals live, shop and play.
