This coastal region is known for its scenic beaches, maritime heritage, and summer tourism, with Chatham particularly recognized for its historic downtown, lighthouses, and active fishing industry. The regional high school, formed through a consolidation of the two towns' schools, draws students from both year-round residents and families drawn to Cape Cod's coastal lifestyle.
