Local moves

·

Race Point Road is a long, paved drive from Provincetown -- the parking area fills by 11 AM on peak summer Saturdays.

·

A National Parks annual pass ($80/year) covers entry to both Race Point and Coast Guard Beach on the same trip. It pays for itself fast.

·

The summer shuttle from downtown Provincetown is $3/person and the easiest way to get here without fighting parking.

·

Call the Provincetown NPS visitor center at (508) 487-1256 for live parking and shuttle status.
