About

Vehicle permits can be purchased at Race Point Beach from April 10-November 15. A part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, this beach is north facing so gets sun all day long. It has good surf, but also can have a strong undertow. Beautiful sand dunes line the beach. Short walk to Race Point Lighthouse.

Note: Pedestrians and bicyclists also have a daily fee. There is no entrance fee for active duty military and their dependents with proper ID, nor for any children under the age of 16. Fees for all visitors start on July 2.

Lifeguards will be at this beach from July 2 thru Labor Day.

Bathroom facilities will be sanitized on a regular basis, but there will be no public showers.

If you have four wheel drive, get the overland sticker. So worth it.

We enjoyed the many seals that went by in addition it was very easy access to get out on the beach with all of our beach gear. Beautiful beach!

We got to see seals playing in the waves. Beach wasn't crowded and easy to walk.

Wide open with nice facilities, no seaweed, few rocks. It's a pretty long walk to beach from the car, so pack lightly if you can!
