Wasn't much going on in town when I was there. Went to a beach about a 40 min. drive from there in a place called Erieau. However changerooms and washrooms were locked. Didn't spend as much time as i could have. Went to another place called Wheatley another 45 mins. Biting flies on the beach!

We used Chatham as a base for driving to other local communities. The road transportation links were excellent. Dining downtown was a bit of hit and miss as it is not a very welcoming area. We found two really good ice cream shops for after dinner treats and Teena's Restaurant - across the street from the Comfort Inn - served great food at very reasonable prices.

Where I was working the motel was only 9 minutes away, everything was in close proximity to the motel, very friendly staff, nice morning breakfast, nice motel room and I asked for a wake up call every morning and got it, would recommend it to everyone, no issues at all.

Economic situation seems not very healthy. Largest employers have gone ; ie Harvester - Quite a few folks living in tents at the River - the rents have jumped so high, so fast (not morally right) that folks were forced out. The River park is lovely - with the exception of the above - and these folks have to have some place! We drove to ErieEau for the Art on the Boulevard - most pleasant day - at least 2 good restaurants - beach is great - accessible mats laid on sand (wheelchairs, etc.).

It is a beautiful little city. with many amenities. We ate at Mama Maria's and it was the best Italian food we have ever eaten. It was a short walk from our hotel. There was music and drinks also nearby.

We did not get to see too much of Chatham but we did manage to stop into Sons of Kent Brewing Company, which had some of the best craft beer we've tried! Would love to check out the museums next time! (They were closed when we went). Everyone we met in Chatham was so friendly and accommodating.
