Race Point Light is a historic lighthouse on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Race Point’s name comes from the strong cross current, known as a “race,” that made navigation around the terminus of Cape Cod a nightmare for mariners. Before the construction of the Cape Cod Canal in 1914, every vessel traveling along the coast between Boston and points south had to negotiate the treacherous bars near here. As early as 1808, the merchants and mariners of Provincetown asked for a lighthouse at Race Point.
There are several way to reach Race Point Lighthouse, the easiest way is to park at Race Point Beach and walk 1.5 miles along the beach. The hike takes about 45 minutes and requires wading through knee deep water just before the lighthouse due to a inlet.
