All day fun and education
The Chatham Fish Pier is a very cool place where you can view commercial fishing boats unloading their catch. They have a viewing deck, and in the summer, they have Pier Hosts brought to you by the Cape Cod Commercial Fisherman’s Alliance in which they explain the history and future of Cape Cod’s small-boat fishing industry.
Sunrise and seals
My favorite thing to do it to come before the crowds and fisherman and enjoy the sunrise over the commercial fishing boats peaking through the clouds, and the seals poking their heads above water to greet the day.
The Chatham Fish Pier is located at 45 Barcliff Avenue Extension in Chatham. There is an upper parking lot for visitors, the lower lot is reserved for the workers.
Stop by the Chatham Pier Fish Market if you’re there during the day to pick up what it probably the freshest fish you will find on the cape!
