The beach is wide and long. Some places near by make it private. The beach is soft beige sand. Lovely view. Easy to get in and out of the water.

7. Misquamicut State Beach

Rhode Island's largest and most popular beach will be handicap accessible.
Reviewed By traveladdict045 - Omaha, United States
I had no idea Rhode Island beaches were so beautiful. A hidden gem when so many might crowd Nantucket and Cape Cod, this place is special. The beach is well cared for and frequented by locals. Covid definitely left it’s mark on things but also likely we were a bit late in season. Nonetheless there are good options for places to stay. I found this a great area for short day trips too - Block Island, Boston, Newport etc.

I love, love, love Watch Hill! I have been going since I was a baby. So many wonderful memories! The parking did go up after Taylor moved in. It is so much better than Misquamicut! Always worth it for me. The pay side next to the carousel offers bathroom, outdoor showers and changing room. The waves are gentle, great for kids and adults who don’t want to be knocked down by rough surf.
