CLUES
TO THE LETTERBOX
Standing at the door to the lighthouse, look over the dunes in the
direction of the Provincetown Tower. Dune walk toward the tower until you
reach the highest dune along the lighthouse tower line of sight. From this location you can see a higher
dune on a bearing of 60O. Trek over to the tower side of this
dune. If you are in the right place, the Provincetown airport runway lights will
be at a bearing of 70O, the tower will be at a bearing of
120O, and the lighthouse will be at a bearing of
300O.
Step off 20 paces on a line just to the left of the tower. The Race Point
Lighthouse Letterbox lies beneath a collection of stones nestled inside the
beach shrubs.
