Our smallest state has some of the best beaches on the East Coast,
including many town-run areas. For example, Goosewing Beach, off Rte. 77
in Little Compton, has a dazzling stretch of white-sand beach, backed up
against rolling green pastures and an 18th-century dairy farm. Napotee
Point, off Rte. 1 in Watch Hill, adjoins a beautiful summer-cottage town
with antique stores and funky boutiques. Listed below are some of the
larger and more popular beaches, all open daily until Labor Day. Call
the Rhode Island Office of Parks and Recreation at (401) 222-2632 for
further information.
