As someone who spends their summers on Cape Cod, I love spending time exploring all the quaint little towns. Chatham happens to be one of those towns I love exploring. With its Main Street that just oozes with small-town charm, it's hard not to fall in love with Chatham. And when I have the kids with me, there's one place we must stop (aside from an ice cream shop, of course) -- Where The Sidewalk Ends Children's Annex is a cozy store full of children's games, toys, and, most importantly, books! This children's bookstore in Chatham, Massachusetts is as adorable as can be.
While independent bookstores aren't as common as they once were, you can certainly still find them. One family-owned independent bookstore that's such a delight to visit is Where the Sidewalk Ends on Main Street in Chatham.
This bookstore is a book lover's dream come true! Here you'll find a wonderful variety of genres as you peruse the shelves.
There's even an upstairs in the main bookstore filled will additional titles. You'll have a hard time leaving without something new to read!
Between the main portion of Where the Sidewalk Ends and the Children's Annex is a deck that connects the two. On the covered deck, there may be a display of children's books along with play sets that kids can certainly explore.
