Popular with sunbathers and beachcombers, Race Point Beach is on the northwest side of the Cape Cod Peninsula and is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. While not specifically a gay beach, in the summer you'll see plenty of gay and lesbian couples catching some rays. The sun shines directly on the beach all day, so bring your sunscreen, and the waters here can be rough - which is great for surfing - but inexperienced swimmers should stick close to shore. Parking in the busy summer months will require a daily permit, which can be purchased for $20 at the beach office.
