Narragansett Town Beach
Edit SpotAbout
One needs to frequently to find good waves. I live 2hrs away so I can only go Saturday's during the summer.
Atmosphere:
Get there early for sea wall parking. Lot parking is by resident permit only in the summer. Very friendly.
Additional Info:
Great beginner beach, but it gets big and it gets good. Winter and fall and spring is better. Closes out at low tide, nice bars at high.
