We visited Coast Guard Beach on a Sunday, for the morning and early afternoon. We parked at 8:50am,…read morethe trolley was there waiting but we decided to walk the 1 mile path to the beach. It was a nice walk, altho for the 1st half it was wooded and the ground a bit dirty so i should have worn sneakers vs flip flops. The later part is paved and a boardwalk which was pretty. We took the trolley back and it was fast and easy. There are bathrooms at the main parking area as well as at the closest beach parking (resident only). Bathroom was clean and was being cleaned while we were there. The beach is huge especially at low tide. The surf was rough with endless seals swimming by and a shark flag waving. Water a bit cold. We walked 1 mile south during low tide and enjoyed all the tide pools and different shapes created in the sand by the water. We also walked a half mile north and it is very quiet except for the spot next to the entrance. Peaceful and reminded us of being on an island as it was so quiet with not many people around, and unique scenery. Bring your own everything as there is no snack shack.

This is a beautiful beach! Nice soft white sand, dunes without having to hike down a huge hill as…read moreyou do on many other beaches. There is a mobimat that leads to the beach. There are some nice walkways to lookouts over the ocean and the marsh, and also a bike path that leads to Nauset. It can be a bit buggy on those walkways due to the marsh just fyi. There's tons of accessible parking. In fact it's only accessible and resident parking available at the lot right by the beach. My only complaint is that while there's lots of accessible parking, the lot is pretty far away from the entrance to the beach. As someone who can walk, but not for longer distances without a break, it's a bit frustrating. I wish there was at least a drop off point, but there's only a sign that reads "no drop offs at anytime. I've read they have beach wheelchairs in season, but there were none available at the time I was there.

I walked down to the beach over a blue mat laid down on the sand which made for easy walking. I little shocked to see warnings posted about sharks! As I neared the beach and the waves rolling in, I could see some people watching something out in the surf and was excited to see a seal swimming along in the waves, its head popping up occasionally. Spending time at Race Point Beach was one of the highlights of my trip to Provincetown and Cape Cod.

We saw many unoccupied cars get tickets for parking in an illegal spot. The lighthouse and surrounding areas are beautiful. The lighthouse provides for such a stunning back drop.

They definitely drew a crowd, along with photographers but it was such a sweet experience. The beach sand was soft and the water was gorgeous.

This amazing beach is one of those places that makes me so happy every time I visit…read more I have lived all over the USA and been to a lot of famous beaches, but this one will always be in my top 5. This is my favorite beach on the whole Cape too. LeCount Hollow adjoins equally beautiful Cahoon Hollow Beach, the parking lots are a very short drive from each other. You will have an identical experience at either of these beaches and I recommend both. This beach reminds me a bit of some of the beautiful California beaches that I have been to with it's majestic dunes. I love how you feel like you are removed from civilization when you are down on the beach. So peaceful being here, especially before the Cape's peak tourist season begins. The biggest negative is the very large dune you have to walk up and down to access the beach, this is especially challenging with loads of beach gear. This past summer nearby Cahoon Hollow has some serious erosion troubles with the dunes. Also, paying to park is quite steep, but if you come in the off season it is free. Luckily they do have actual bathrooms here, not just the grimey porta potties.

Be ware that you will need to go down a steep sand pathway to the beach. It's not really the going down part but the going back up. We saw plenty of people having to stop multiple times on the way back up because it is tough. There are lifeguards on duty until 5pm and the crowds weren't horrible because one needs a parking sticker to enter the beach. On the on-season there is someone stopping all the cars going in to make sure they had the appropriate parking sticker.

Could Dune Shacks Trail be the 8th wonder of the world? I don't know man...but I feel like it is…read more When hubs located these dunes as part of our nature escape in Ptown, I was like...."ok" and shrugged my shoulders. But once we started ascending on a narrow sand path leading to the tallest peak, all we saw was a stretch of pure gold and imagined some desperate soul running frantically looking for water. Even with the frigid late December visit here, make sure you bundle. Hiking on sand was difficult especially since we wore denims- but definitely wear leggings or joggers to get the most mobility as you hike up. We didn't prep ourselves mentally- so once we got to that tallest peak, we came back down and never saw past the end of the dune and into the ocean. Dune Shacks could well be that place that combines the dune+beach beautifully together. What a dramatic and lovely place to visit. If you're into the breeze rustling your hair and really sinking your boots in the sand, this spot's for you.

Out of all the beaches in the outer Cape area, this has quickly become our favorite. They have…read morerestrooms, changing rooms, and showers very close to the beach. The beach area is so clean and never too crowded the times we have gone. Like previous reviews have mentioned, it really does matter when you go here--if it's during low or high tide. As I love to scour the beach for sea glass, low tide is best. During high tide, the sandy beach area does become a little smaller, but don't worry plenty of room to still put down your beach towel and/or umbrella. Starting Memorial Day weekend, they do start charging $25 per car. Or if you're on a bicycle/and or walking to the beach, then it's $15. Luckily, we went prior to Memorial Day, so entry was still free.
