Race Point Beach

This scenic beach is found at the nothernmost point of Cape Cod, boasts a historic lighthouse, and is great for swimming, long walks, and wildlife spotting.

Located at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod, Race Point Beach provides the perfect New England beach experience. During the daytime this setting is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing, while in the evening it’s a top-notch spot for sunset picnics and long strolls along the sandy shore. The Atlantic Ocean and Cape Cod Bay meet here, which makes for strong currents and waves that have been the cause for the many shipwrecks the region is known for.

Race Point Beach is also part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, so the area is extremely well taken care of and teeming with incredible wildlife. Keep your eye out for seabirds, crabs, seals lazing on the shore, and whales breaching out in the water. Also be sure to check out the Race Point Beach Lighthouse for a gorgeous backdrop and a fascinating dose of 19^th century history.

There’s something extra special about the New England coast, and Race Point Beach offers everything you could ever desire in a coastal getaway. Whether you're exploring the rolling sand dunes, soaking up the sun while immersed in a book, biking the trails, catching some waves, or just looking for a stunning backdrop, you’ll be more than happy as a clam at Race Point Beach.
