While most of my blog posts have to do with long vacations, I occasionally find a local gem nearby that I want to write about.
One Saturday toward the end of June, I woke up bright and early to travel down to Chatham for a day trip with friends. To my surprise, there was no traffic at all! I think I lucked out because everyone must have been preparing for 4th of July and not traveling the weekend before. We arrived at Chatham Bars Inn around 10 AM, and as expected, the room was not yet ready. The real reason we came so early was to use the pool, beach access, and other facilities. The concierge happily directed us across a foot path to the pool where a cabana boy set up a section of lounge chairs with towells and an umbrella. The pool was not too big, but plenty big for the number of guests that were there. There were employees around to take drink orders as needed, but not in an overwhelming - in your face - fashion. The view of the beach was gorgeous as well. We decided to stay at the pool, but I can agree that the service was just as good on the beach. Around lunch time, we placed orders for lunch. The lobster roll was delicious, and served with a side of watermelon slices. Absolutely perfect for a hot summer day. Around 5pm, we checked into the room. The quaint, but very tasteful, oceanside room was located right on the bluff overlooking the water. Adorable little bunnies scattered about on the lawn hiding in shadows cast by the large adirondack chairs. This is a great escape for a staycation on the Cape!
Before dinner, we strolled into town stopping at the shops along the way. There is some incredible art to be found down there! Lots of galleries and local jewelers ready to make a memorable piece for you or your home. Dinner was set for 6 PM at Del Mar. I am told that arriving any later chances a 1+ hour wait by the bar before you are seated, and no, they don't take any reservations. We were seated right away and had our drink orders in immediately. The service was good, and the food was delicious. I love lobster ravioli, and they have it available as an appetizer or entree portion. Yummy! Everyone else was satisfied with their food as well. The atmosphere was great and I can see how this would be a fun place for drinks later at night.
