Race Point Beach is a beautiful, well-known beach on the northern side of Provincetown; it is Cape Cod's northernmost beach. This long, sandy beach stretches beyond the Ranger Station and Old Harbor Life-Saving Station Museum to the east, and down to the Race Point Lighthouse to the west. This lighthouse marks the northernmost point of both Provincetown and the entire state of Massachusetts. While Race Point Beach bakes in the sun most days, it is on the Atlantic Ocean and the water can be quite cold and the currents can be very strong. Fortunately if swimming is not on the agenda, Race Point Beach has some of the most spectacular sand dunes on Cape Cod and its long sandy shore makes for fantastic walking. You can take in the dunes as well as the ocean where you can sometimes see whales (primarily humpback and finback whales), seals, and, of course, plenty of seabirds.
