Race Point Beach, located on Race Point Road, is one of the Cape’s most beautiful National Seashore beaches- you will be amazed at how far the beach seems to extend! Sand stretches around the point and the Old Harbor Life Saving Station, which was built in Chatham in 1897 and later moved by barge to Provincetown in 1977. During the summer months, rescue re-enactments are conducted on the grounds. The National Park Service Museum is within walking distance. Lots of soft sand, seagulls, beach grasses, sand dunes and weathered fences make this unprotected beach a must-see. While you are at the beach, you just may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a whale, dolphin, seal or boat passing by. It’s a great beach for sunbathing and an ideal spot for taking long walks with beautiful sand dunes all over. If you enjoy biking, bike trails are located close to the parking area. This beach offers plenty of parking and is open to the public.

Visiting High Head Beach
Have you been to High Head Beach? Head south on Route 6. Just past the Outer Reach Resort (on the left), and you will see a sign marked High Head Road. Take a left onto the gravel road and stay to the left. You will see a small parking area with a portable restroom. Walk down the sandy road (closer to the parking area) for about 15 minutes. You will soon come to a beautiful beach with breathtaking views.
The only way to get to the beach is by climbing down a steep sandy dune, but it will be well worth it. During the summer months, there are hundreds of seals on the sandbars – a view you will never forget!
