Race Point Light, Navigation lighthouse in Provincetown, United States.
The cylindrical iron tower reaches 45 feet in height and features a brick interior structure with Renaissance Revival architectural elements.
The original lighthouse was constructed in 1816, with the current tower replacing it in 1876 to guide vessels through the northern tip of Cape Cod.
The American Lighthouse Foundation maintains the facility and organizes educational programs about maritime navigation and coastal preservation.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by walking 45 minutes across sand or using a four-wheel drive vehicle with a National Park Service permit.
The lighthouse operates entirely off the electrical grid through solar panels installed in 2003 and a wind turbine added in 2007.
