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 2021: Welcome to Chatham

I took these photographs during my travels in Cape Cod during the summer of 2021. With international tourism still somewhat problematic, people had returned to the Cape in great numbers. Parking spaces were noticeably more difficult to find. The summer began with seeming great promise as COVID-19 vaccines decreased the number of individuals susceptible to the virus. It became increasingly apparent, though, that cases of the Delta variant were surging globally, and even locally. Despite this, the wearing of masks indoors remained minimal. None of this, though, will be apparent from these photos. More to follow.

Cape Cod 2020

We arrived at Cape Cod on Sunday, July 5. The following day, Massachusetts went into Phase 3 of Reopening and we were able to dine inside at some restaurants. We were based in Chatham for the week. We had to lower our expectations this year, yet we enjoyed ourselves as much as any other summer in the Cape.

There will be no Chatham Band concerts this summer. The Whit Tileston Bandstand will remain empty.

The Chatham Squire is under new management. Dinner there was our only culinary disappointment this week, the first indifferent meal we have been served there in twenty years. Let's hope it was just an aberration.

At Ducks in the Window, rubber ducks are mostly compliant with wearing their masks.
