Chatham Harbor opens to the Atlantic Ocean and is subject to considerable shifting.  It is generally considered unwise to use this harbor entrance without local knowledge.  Chatham Harbor leads to the town of Orleans via Pleasant Bay.  there are three boat yards suitable for small craft only.  Pleasant Bay and the upper Chatham Harbor are noted for sandbars, some narrow cuts and protected salt water ponds.

Approaches to Stage Harbor are complicated by seasonal fish weirs near the mainland shore.  The shoals off Monomoy Island are marked and well charted.  Find the Red and White SH buoy and that leads to the marked channel.  Tidal range is about 3 1/2 feet.  The current is strong and may displace your track onto the sand bars lining the entrance.
