Race Point Beach

The Beach at the Tip

Description

Race Point Beach is located at the very tip of Cape Cod in Provincetown as part of Cape Cod National Seashore National Park. The dramatic coastline at this beach is known for its fierce waters that surge swiftly around the point, which locals call The Race. From the sand dunes at this beach, you can visit the Race Point Lighthouse that is still in use for boats passing by the Cape. The beach is a favorite for sunbathing, but only strong swimmers should brave the often colder and wilder waters. With an authorized permit, sports utility vehicles can drive along the sand at this beach and access other beaches along the sandy shoreline.
