The 18th annual Cape Cod Maritime Days, which is a celebration of the Cape’s rich maritime heritage, is underway for the month of May.

One of the highlights of this popular celebration is the chance to climb the towers at three outer Cape lighthouses, including Race Point Light, on Sunday, May 15, 2011.

Nestled within the natural beauty of Cape Cod National Seashore, Race Point Light Station is a shining testament to lighthouse preservation and adaptive reuse thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Cape Cod Chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation. The site is also a “green” model with its commitment to renewable energy.

Don’t miss the chance to admire some of the most incredible natural views found on the Cape while experiencing this one-of-a-kind slice of Cape Cod’s lighthouse heritage that is still making history today!
