Where to Shop in Chatham, Cape Cod

Chatham offers an exceptional number of unique shops to whet your appetite for that “special” purchase. Whether you’re seeking an unusual souvenir, a T-shirt, fine art for your home or a 25th anniversary “jewel” for that someone special, you’re sure to find it at one of our many shops.

Not just for visitors anymore, Chatham has become a destination for browsers and buyers alike, from throughout Cape Cod and beyond.

In Chatham's town center, you'll find nearly one mile of unique shopping that everyone will enjoy.

On Main Street, the best way to get around is on foot. Start at the Chatham Candy Manor for premium, hand-made candy and fudge that you won't find anywhere else. As they say, "...if it weren't made of chocolate, it'd be signed by the artist!" Traditional seaside favorites are availble too, like white chocolate seashells and of course, saltwater taffy.

Further along you'll find galleries full of work by local artists, depicting life on The Cape in watercolor, oil, sculpture and more. Traditional techniques like scrimshaw, pottery and weaving are alive and well in Chatham, and practiced by local artisans.  You'll also find nautical antiques, clothing for men, women and kids, sports memorabilia, music and more.

There are three large parking lots, two public restrooms, and no parking meters! When you're through, stop in one of our many restaurants or take the public shuttle to beautiful Lighthouse Beach.

The Chatham Gift Card can be redeemed at more than 75 Chatham businesses for countless gift items! Jewelry, clothing, toys, books, home accessories furniture, local art & crafts, services (such as landscaping, snow plowing, firewood, photography, veterinarian, fuel, interior decorating, etc.) sports activities (such as golf & fishing), restaurants, newspaper subscriptions, tee shirts, shoes, spas & hair salons ... nearly everything Chatham has to offer! 

Look for the "Chatham Gift Card Accepted Here" decals all over town! Chatham Gift Cards can be purchased at Ben Franklin, Chatham Cookware, Chatham's Liquor Locker, Larry's PX, Yellow Umbrella Books, and at the Chatham Gift Card HQ at 1448 Main Street.  The perfect gift!
