Nature Walk at Thompson's Field

Though it's technically in Harwich, Thompson's Field is a hugely popular spot for dog walkers. Your pup is sure to love it!

Chatham's Main Street is extremely dog-friendly, with many stores welcoming well-behaved dogs enthusiastically. We recommend taking a walk down Main Street, doing some shopping and splitting an ice cream cone with your furry friend on a hot summer day.
