I love this beautiful bright and fresh bookstore. They have all the new releases and a great selection of childrens. Also plenty of books about local places. It wasn't busy the day I was there and was easy to browse. Very friendly staff. They have off street parking too.

Charming bookshop with separate children’s building. Although able to order books for you, Where the Sidewalk Ends isn’t the first place to go to search for hot books. Nonetheless, a Chatham staple for ambiance alone.

Nice welcoming bookstore with very helpful staff. I was looking for books featuring Cape Cod for 5 children aged 2, 3, 5, and 13. The staff helped me find everything I was looking for, and more!
