Newport - all beaches

This was my first visit here. After reading reviews, I decided to try a new beach. However, there's only one road leading in, which gets heavily congested. We waited in line for over an hour and arrived at the front gate parking area at 10:20, only to be told by a rather unpleasant police officer that we had to turn around because he had just let the last car in. We explained that we weren't from the area and asked for a quick recommendation for other beaches since we had driven over an hour, but he wasn't helpful. We turned around and went the opposite way of what he suggested and found Captain Jack's parking lot, which charged $20 for the day and was only a 0.5-mile walk from the beach. The beach itself is beautiful, perfect for those who love waves and swimming. The bathhouses and bathroom area were clean, and the pavilion area offers Del's Lemonade. If you enjoy fishing, this is a great spot, as many people were walking down the rocks. The ocean floor had soft sand and wasn't filled with shells or rocks, just a bit of seaweed but still beautiful. Make sure to check the hours of operation for the bathhouses as they do close. Definitely plan to arrive early to avoid the lot being full—around 8 AM for the 8:30 AM opening.

This beach is truly one of the most remarkable ones I have ever visited! The parking area was quite spacious, accommodating a large number of vehicles. Although there were some rocks, they were not as abundant as other beaches, allowing for leisurely strolls along the shore. I came across a variety of rocks, each with unique shapes and sizes that I had never seen before. Despite the chilly water, the waves were absolutely magnificent. Our stop in Middletown after leaving Newport was well worth it, as we were greeted with a picturesque location of tranquil dunes and crashing waves. Upon arrival, we noticed some guidelines posted near the entrance, although they appeared to be more of a minor inconvenience than a problem. Overall, this destination is definitely worth the drive!

The beach is absolutely beautiful, but you need to be a member to access it.

What a splendid opportunity to bask in the glory of Mother Nature! The sun is shining, the waves are crashing, and the sand is oh so inviting. It's the perfect day to frolic in the great outdoors and soak up some vitamin D. Don't let this moment pass you by, seize the day and make some unforgettable memories on the beach.

This beach located on the historic coast of Rhode Island is a true gem. With its diverse range of features, it offers something for everyone. From excellent facilities to soft sand and rugged rocky shorelines, this beach has it all. Additionally, the beachside trail and the ruins add a unique touch to the already picturesque scenery. It is the ideal spot to unwind and bask in the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.

This beach is a true gem, especially for families with little ones and those who enjoy kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. The beach is well-protected and offers a peaceful atmosphere for a day of relaxation and fun. However, it's important to note that during the peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), a seasonal pass is required for parking. But fear not, if you plan accordingly and arrive early or late, you can still enjoy all that this beach has to offer without any hassle.
