What to know

Know the permit rules

National Seashore beaches like Race Point, Herring Cove, and Nauset require a Park Service permit, usually a couple of months ahead; town beaches need a town permit with a fee. A planner handles the paperwork.

Or choose a private beach

Resorts like Chatham Bars Inn offer toes-in-the-sand ceremonies on a private beach, with no permit needed. Note your guest count and vendors will suggest options.

Plan for wind and tide

Ocean beaches bring breeze and changing tides. A planner times the ceremony and plans a backup for weather.
