Race Point Beach

Located at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod, Race Point Beach features panoramic ocean views and a beach that stretches for miles down the National Seashore. Kids will enjoy combing the waterline for rocks and scanning the seas for seals, sharks and whales, although swimmers might not be as excited about the beach, for the same reasons. There’s plenty of room to spread out, so Race Point never feels overcrowded.

Parking in the large lot is rarely an issue, but prepared for a bit of a hike if you arrive late and miss out on the spots closest to the beach. The seasonal pass is one of the best deals on the Cape and grants you access to all six Cape Cod National Seashore beaches.

Visitors with off-road vehicles are allowed to drive on large sections of the beach with a valid oversand permit available from the National Seashore.

Parking: 300 spaces

• Daily (Car) $25
• Daily (Foot/Bike) $15
• Season $60 (Valid for all 6 National Seashore beaches)
