Guide
Good to know
Less crowded than other RI beaches
The limited parking naturally keeps crowds small, making this a peaceful alternative to busier state beaches.
Arrive by 8:30am in summer
The small parking lot fills by late morning on warm weekends, forcing visitors to park a mile away.
Expect rough water and steep shore
The 15-20 degree slope creates choppy conditions that can be tough on young children, though waves suit boogie.
Bring your own food and shade
No on-site restaurants, concessions, or food vendors exist, and umbrellas are prohibited in the lifeguarded area.
