Napatree Point

Watch Hill bird sanctuary.

Reviewed By Davidcarmytraveler - Coventry, United States

We came for Memorial Day and got there about 10:30. Thankfully it wasn’t very crowded. You pass the watch hill yacht club and walk over the dunes and drop down on to this beautiful beach. It goes way out into the water and has beach on both sides. There are great views of the watch hill light house and all the boats. It’s the only place we have been that you can play on the dunes. There isn’t much public parking so go early. 2 hours free on the street and 2 hours free in the shopping parking lot; or spend 20-30 dollars for all day in the paid lot. This is a must visit beach in RI, off season or now during covid is probably the best time to go.

Narragansett Beach

Long flat beach, ideal for surfing.

Reviewed By T3482MMsamanthac - Greenwich, United States

So we just got got back from our trip. We spend 2 days on Narragansett town beach. I was worried about parking, you can't park in the beach parking lots this year (residents only) but both days I found free street parking pretty easily. It's a 2 hr slot, but this ends at 4. We got there at 2 on one day and stayed until 5 and another day got there at 3. I think going later may help find parking. It was a short walk to the beach from the parking. On the beach my son decided he wanted to rent a boogie board and there was a tent in the parking lot where you can rent surf or boogie boards so we did that. The next day he got a surf lesson, it was 60 for an hr. He loved it. When I called they said they were full. But when we arrived at the beach they said come back in an hour to see us and he can have a lesson. A short drive down from this beach is Monahan's Clam Shack. Order online and pick up or go and sit outside. Great food.

Roger W. Wheeler State Beach

Named for the developer of the state life-saving system, this beach features a new bathhouse and playground.

Reviewed By Homerpigeon1 - Narragansett, United States

Have taken my kids and grandchildren here many times. Extensive beach protected by breakwater so no fear of child being “swept away.” Teenagers and college students shun this beach so you won’t be bothered by the posturing. Swings and slides available. Good beach to acquaint toddlers to ocean. There is a charge but a good day for children.

Wickford Harbor

Reviewed By Decaf7

Wickford Harbor is a hidden gem as is the Village. Just recently sat on a bench overlooking the harbor and witnessed a beautiful sunset. Love the fact that it is rarely crowded. Plenty of parking in the municipal lot right in the center of town; harbor is right there with plenty of benches. Get yourself a cup of coffee and take in all the beauty that is there for the taking. Harbor is great for kayaking, too. Enjoy!
