Narragansett Pier
The state’s premier surf beach, right in Narragansett Pier — consistent waves, a walk-on beach fee, and paid lots that go early when the swell is up.
Scarborough
The quintessential RI scene — a huge dune-backed beach with a pavilion and boardwalk, and one of the largest state lots, which still caps out midday.
Galilee
Sheltered, calm water behind the Galilee breakwater makes “Sand Hill Cove” the go-to family beach — which means the lot fills with families by late morning.
