Race Point has a 4.5 "excellent" rating on TripAdvisor's website, A recent review says one of the highlights is the concession stand and the cleanliness of the beach and bathrooms. Ogunquit Beach is recognized for having "up to three miles of clean sand, shallow water, no rocks, beautiful waves, not to mention all the inviting restaurants along the way."
