Narragansett
The smallest state in the union is home to what is arguably the best beach vacation spot in the northeastern United States. Narragansett, Rhode Island is the ideal beach destination, complete with easily accessible shops and restaurants serving traditional New England fare and offering stunning views of the coast. With beaches as large and accessible as Narragansett Town Beach, scenic destinations like Point Judith, and day trip destinations like Block Island, Narragansett rivals and even outperforms destinations like the Cape and Long Island.
Four of Rhode Island's four most popular state beaches are located in Narragansett. It is a popular summer destination for both Rhode Island residents and visitors from throughout New England. The two main attractions for visitors to Narragansett are Narragansett Town Beach and Scarborough State Beach. The architecture, which includes towers and scenic arches that line the coastline, reflects the town's history as a wealthy community that rivaled nearby Newport. Today, visitors to Narragansett can enjoy a relaxing and aesthetically pleasing seaside experience.
From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the beach is open. The beach has two pavilions, each with restrooms, showers, and a concession stand. Tree lightings, concerts, and festivals are among the events held on the beach. Seasonal parking passes for the beach are available to town residents. To obtain a pass, you must provide proof of residency as well as the registration number of your vehicle. You can also buy a beach season pass, which gives you unlimited access to the beach throughout the year. These passes, however, are not transferable.
