Race Point Light Historical Site
Race Point Lighthouse

Sand dune landscape and lighthouse tower with a height of 45 feet

Race Point Light is a historic lighthouse located west of the Province Lands Bicycle Trail Loop on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It can be reached from the Race Point Beach area north of the Province Lands Vistor Center by beach walk—or by deflattened-tire drive between the sand dunes (National Park Service Oversand Permit required). Another access option is a hike via the Hatches Harbor Trail, low-tide flats and sand banks.
