Cape Cod 2022: Some Parting Shots

August in Cape Cod is already a fading memory. I have a few last photographs to share from the trip.

Cape Cod 2022: Chatham Fish Pier

The Chatham Fish Pier is definitely worth a visit, an easy place to observe harbor seals in the water without the need to board a boat. There, seagulls and seals congregate looking to sample the catch of the day.

Cape Cod 2022: Lighthouse Beach

There's beach yoga every morning at 7:30 on Lighthouse Beach in Chatham. Bring a towel and $20. Or show up without a towel or money and just take pictures.

Cape Cod 2022: The Town of Chatham

What good timing! This year we were in Chatham for the Festival of the Arts. We also caught the tail end of Art in the Park 2022. Not that there's a bad time to be in Chatham...

Cape Cod 2021: The Chatham Fish Pier

The Chatham Fish Pier is always worth a visit. In recent years, the harbor seal population has gone up and more of the seals have come close to the shore, occasionally luring sharks. The seals come to the fish pier for the same reason as the seagulls: to enjoy some of the fish discarded by the local fishermen.
