Oyster Pond Beach is named due to the small saltwater pond beside it. On the shores of the pond, this beach offers some of the best swimming conditions in the Chatham area. Some of the waters out in the Atlantic Ocean near places like Monomoy Island have seen a lot of sharks in recent years, but you won't need to worry about anything like that at Oyster Pond Beach. The waters are calm, warm, and welcoming to all, and you can even rent rafts to set off across the water and sunbathe in the middle of the pond. A great spot for families, Oyster Pond Beach can get quite busy, so it makes sense to arrive early and get a good parking spot.
