The Chatham Fish Pier is located off of Shore Road at 54 Barcliff Avenue Extension.  Guests may park in the upper parking lot and walk down; the lower lot requires a fishermen's parking permit.

 

 
Want to see the fishermen unloading their catch? 

 

The best time to visit during the summer is mid-afternoon.  If it's really windy and all the boats are still on their moorings, it's likely that they didn't fish.

If it is low tide in the afternoon, the boats may have to wait for the tide to rise before being able to navigate through the break and into the harbor.  Check the tide chart at Chatham Harbor.

~ WEEKLY SCHEDULE ~

 

November-April
The Pier Host Program does not currently run during the winter. However, the boats are still fishing and you can watch them unload.
 


Stop by CCCHFA to pick up a brochure before you visit the pier! (We are in Nickerson's Corners on Orleans Road/Rte 28, just blocks from the pier, next to the post office)


You can also purchase a commemorative  Chatham Fish Pier T-shirt when you visit CCCHFA.

  

 

 

 

 
The Pier Host Program is sponsored by the
Bilezikian Family Foundation
and the
Massachusetts Environmental Trust.

You can support the Trust by purchasing a Preserve the Trust license plate!
