Race Point Beach in Cape Cod National Seashore is located one mile northwest of the Province Lands Visitor Center at the northern tip of Cape Cod. Besides parking for seven handicap placarded vehicles, it has paved parking for over 280 standard automobiles. There is no bus or RV parking at Race Point. In addition, restrooms and showers are open seasonally. The Race Point Ranger Station and the Old Harbor Life-Saving Station Museum were both closed when we visited in October 2021.
