Barrier Beach Walk
The eastern-most stretch of barrier beach is where the Gulf Stream meets the Gulf of Maine in a swirl of ocean currents. This informative walk led by our naturalist focuses on the function and importance of barrier beaches, cyclical breaches and the wildlife that inhabit the area.

Antique Car Tour
Take a seat in our vintage 1929 Ford Model A Woody for a historic tour of Chatham. Your tour includes Chatham Light, the break-through, Monomoy Wildlife Refuge, fishing pier, gristmill, old Railroad Station, drawbridge and some of the most beautiful private residences in town. And as you take in the sights, Chatham residents will be looking at you!

Biking
Rent a bike and go exploring on your own, or join a guided tour through the back roads of Chatham on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Accessible less than a mile from the Inn, the Rail Trail covers over 35 miles through the towns of Chatham, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans and Eastham, and a knowledgeable tour guide shares the area's rich local history and fragile coastal ecology.

Guided Nature Walk
Our in-house naturalist will guide your group on a walk through the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge on Morris Island. The Refuge's 40-acres of varied habitats including oceans, salt and freshwater marshes, and dunes and freshwater ponds that support an amazing diversity of wildlife and plant species. Piping plover, roseate tern, osprey, horseshoe crabs and gray seals call the refuge home.

Croquet Court
Our regulation Croquet Court on the South Lawn has a laser flat surface similar to golf greens, providing a much different experience from "Backyard Croquet," the most widely known form of croquet. Court times, including instruction and equipment rental, are available through the Activities Department. Hours of fun and entertainment for couples, families, and corporate groups!
