Roger Wheeler State Beach
Sand Hill Cove
Similar to Scarborough, being a state beach it is free to walk on, but you have to pay for parking (weather seasonal or daily). Protected by the Point Judith Breakwater, this beach has calm waters and is excellent for that afternoon swim. The park is popular with families with small children because the break wall offers minimal waves. There is a large and accommodating bathhouse and a concession stand for snacks. Picnic tables make it a perfect spot for lunch with friends. But beware of the seagulls! They are comfortable around people but they will take your food, do not feed them! It is the only state beach equipped with a playground for children to enjoy. Has a view of boat going in and out of Galilee. Within walking distance to many restaurants and shops.
Do
Salty Brine State Beach
This great beach is adjacent to the breachway in Galilee and features a sandy, clean, pretty beach with gentle surf, breakwater shelter, no undertow, and a gradual drop. Near the fishing port. Restrooms are available. It is a short walk through the sand from Roger Wheeler State Beach. The calm water and clean sand makes it a great environment for families and your kids. This beach is a popular spot of the local elderly crowd. It is also a wonderful spot to watch the ships come and go as they pass through the Breachway. Parking is limited so get there early. Named after a beloved local broadcaster, Salty Brine, born Walter Leslie Brian.

Scarborough State Beach
One of the more popular beaches in Narragansett. With an enormous boardwalk to navigate, pavilion, large bathhouse, concessions and camper area Scarborough has it all. An observation tower allows you to view the entire beach from overhead. Again another RI beach popular amongst young adults. The beach is divided into north and south. Grilling and ball playing is permitted on the grassy area in the front of the beach parking lot. Hiking trails at the end of the beach along the ocean banks provide a quick escape for those wanting to get off the hot sand. This beach can get crowded and noisy, a beach meant for "fun", if you are looking for a calm and peaceful day at the beach this is not the beach for you. Waves can be pretty rough, parents: keep a close eye on your children. Also offers season passes as well as daily parking passes, however if you can find a parking spot nearby, it is free to walk on to the beach. Big waves when there is a storm. Has plenty of fields for outdoor activities such as soccer or football if it is a nice day.
