Overview
Schoolhouse Pond Beach is a small Chatham town beach on a freshwater kettle pond off Sam Ryder Road. It pairs with the town's saltwater beaches as a quieter inland stop — short sand strip, picnic tables, and limited roadside parking. A Chatham beach sticker is required in season, and non-residents should confirm current stickering and swim-lane rules at the town's Parks and Recreation office.
