Start your day with morning coffee as you sit on the porch and watch the sunrise over Black Pond. Then take in a round of golf, or a game of tennis -- or a walk along Shore Road overlooking the ocean, before the day with the family gets started. Your children can play a game of frisbee on the private lawn while you prepare for a day at the ocean, or a bike ride on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. While the rest of the family is at the beach, you can steal away to do some shopping in downtown Chatham. There are many gift shops, clothing stores, galleries, and restaurants to explore. And don't forget dessert -- the Candy Manor in town makes a variety of delicious chocolate and fudge confections.

In the afternoon -- after your nap in the hammock under the shade of mature trees - you take a walk to the Chatham Fish Pier, where you can watch the well-known Chatham fish fleet bring in their catch of the day. Then walk over to a Chatham A's baseball game -- with announcers and seating that is reminiscent of old-time baseball. Grown-ups can watch the game while children play in the huge playscape adjacent to the ball field. Or, perhaps you might enjoy walking to town to hear live, family-friendly music in downtown Chatham's bandstand. When you take a break from outdoor fun, our spacious living areas offer room for the family to gather to play one of the classic board games or to watch a movie on the TV/VCR/DVD player. If you decide to eat in, the dining room seats 10, so the whole family can enjoy a home-cooked meal together. Or you can enjoy a barbecue. There's an outdoor grill, and seating at the picnic table in the yard.

Whether relaxing on the porch swing, swimming at the beach, or enjoying the many activities Chatham has to offer, your stay at Shoreholm will give you the fun and relaxation you're looking for in your summer vacation.
