Located at the tip of Cape Cod, this is one of the best spots to find pelagic birds from land in Massachusetts.
Race Point Beach is one of the birding hotspots of Massachusetts. It is located at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod and juts miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. Race Point is surrounded on three sides by the sea and within the Cape Cod National Seashore. Deep oceanic waters almost reach the beach at Race Point, drawing rarely seen pelagic birds from far offshore. Plus, Race Point Beach lies at the inflection point between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. How much you will see depends on the time of the year, wind direction, weather conditions and tidal stages, but you will always encounter some good birds.
Some of the most commonly sought after birds include: Dovekie, Common Murre, Thick-billed Murre, Black-legged Kittiwake, Wilson's Storm Petrel, Bonaparte's Gull, Iceland Gull, and several species of ducks, jaegers, loons and shearwaters. July and August are good for spotting seabirds. A spotting scope is advised. Shorebirs nest and stage on this beach from late spring to fall. Peak migration for loons, gannets and alcids is in September and November.
Race Point Beach is located at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod in Provincetown. To reach it follow Route 6 into Provincetown and turn onto Race Point Road. The beach entrance is near the Provincetown Municipal Airport. Press P on the map for directions. Expect to pay an entrance fee if accessing this beach from May until September. The beach has seasonal restrooms and showers.
Birds are just part of the draw – depending on the time of year, you may see Humpback, Fin, Minke, or Northern Right Whales, or maybe even dolphins just off the beach.
