The Lower Cape
The town is becoming more user-friendly with its accessible community center and accessible library. An evening of old-fashioned entertainment can be had at Brooks Park by attending a weekly concert by the Harwich Town Band. Entertainment especially for kids by kids, is be found at the accessible Harwich Junior Theater. The town of Chatham is at the elbow of the Cape. Its geographic location made it a natural place for the development of the fishing industry centered at Stage Harbor. Fishing is still very much a part of the Chatham economy, although time and circumstance has dwindled its size. The beauty and charm of this town abounds and increasingly offers more accessibility. Its latest addition is a new accessible Visitor Center in South Chatham. Orleans, the Queen of the Cape, is dotted with many fresh water ponds as well as having the very popular Nauset Beach, a long sandy stretch right on the Atlantic Ocean. It also boasts an accessible ramp on fresh water Crystal Lake. The only town on the Cape with a name not of Indian or English heritage but of French origins, Orleans truly is the crossroads of the Lower Cape. Routes 6A, 28, and 6 merge, and this large, small town is home for many small businesses. For a more tranquil beach on the bay side, Orleans offers Skaket Beach. Fishing charters may be obtained at Rock Harbor on Cape Cod Bay. Photo Top Left: Children experiencing the use of Surf Chairs at Pleasant Street Beach in Harwich.
