Situated along the Nantucket Sound, Forest Beach in South Chatham is a small but idyllic family-friendly beach in Chatham MA. Famously quiet and serene, Forest Beach is the ideal location for spending some time on the beach away from the busy crowds of other local beaches.

Information on This Stunning Location

Being one of the smaller beaches in Chatham, there are no lifeguards, bathrooms, or snack bars at Forest Beach. This beach is definitely more peaceful and doesn’t have the fuss and frills of some of the other nearby beaches; it’s simply a place to hang out and swim in the warm and gentle waters of the Nantucket Sound for free. However, the local ice cream truck does stop here on a daily basis during the summer, making it the perfect place to visit and have an ice cream cone on the beach during the warmer months of the year.

Soft sand and a myriad of beautiful seashells greet you at Forest Beach, which is three quarters of a mile long. While the waves are calm, many people come here for windsurfing or scenic strolls around sunset or at night by the moonlight. It’s an ideal romantic destination or simply a visually stunning spot to check out.

Despite its lack of lifeguards, families with small children will love this beach, as it is less crowded than most beaches but still offers the same simple pursuits, all in a gentler environment that’s perfect for small children who will want to explore the beach and not swim too far into the ocean. Pick up some of the beautiful seashells to commemorate your visit here!
