Cape Cod National Seashore
Cell Phone Interpretation Program at Cape Cod National Seashore
On Cell sign

Look for these Dial and Discover signs.

Visitors to Cape Cod National Seashore are invited to use a new cell phone interpretation program. At several seashore locations visitors can use their cell phones to access 2-minute messages from the seashore superintendent, historian, and park rangers about seashore history, resources, and activities. Sites were selected for their compelling stories and good cell coverage. When you arrive at the seashore pick up an information flyer about the program at a visitor center, and look for these signs at tour sites. Visitors who have hearing or mobility difficulties can pick up a printed script of the tour stops at seashore visitor centers.

Race Point, Provincetown, MA  

Did You Know?
The area at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod National Seashore in Provincetown is known as “Race Point”. It gets its name from the swift tidal “race” that swirls from ocean to bay around the point. The swimming beach is located a safe distance away in calmer waters.
