Race Point Beach
Race Point Beach is known for its spectacular sunsets. Managed by the Cape Cod National Seashore, this beach offers views of a light house, pristine shoreline, boats, whales and seals (watch out for the sharks). The soft sand is plentiful and has a light mix of shells and dried bands of seaweed from high-tides. It's a moderate walk to the beach from the parking area, and the slope to the beach is gradual. Dune sections are roped off for the piping plovers and other ocean birds.
