What is there not to love about a clean, beautiful, Rhode Island beach?…read more Came out here for a quick girl's beach day. We drove a whole 2 hours to get here and the trip sure was worth it. Beaches in New York are definitely not all that so we decided to hit up the Rhode. It did not disappoint! Let's start by saying it was only $14 to park for the whole day! There are restrooms/changing rooms on premises. Everything is compostable so no flushing but the restrooms sure were pretty clean. No running water so you're kinda stuck with just hand sanitizer. I would recommend staying away from yellow, just let it mellow. The area is pretty isolated, it doesn't get too too packed. There's a limit of how much parking is available so it can only get "packed" up to a certain point. Bottom line: come to this beach. This is all I know but don't tell everyone about it. When things become popular they quickly get ruined. I know, I should've not reviewed it but I couldn't stay greedy. You're welcome, LOL, enjoy!

We had a great day here today! It was like 100 in the city but the perfect temp on the beach. We…read morearrived a little after 3 and the signs all said that the lot was full. We figured that people would have had to have left by then so we took a chance and drive down anyhow. When we got to the girl, we asked if they had spots and she said yes! It was $7 and we found a spot right away. Parking can be limited but they have bathrooms and the walk to the beach is only a few steps away. The beach is long and narrow with plenty of room for everyone with space in between. We headed to the right and settled just past the area that they monitor. We set ourselves up with our chairs, umbrella and Italian grinders! The beach is clean and well taken care of! I was surprised that the bathrooms had already been locked for the evening and it was only 6:30. I mean, we did pay to use the facilities... closing them before 7 on a peak summer weekend is a bit excessive. Check out the spot closest to where you park. The water is completely still and would make the perfect place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Amazing we had the best time! Will absolutely go back . Beautiful too. We just loved the scenery.read more

The only saving point is the bathroom which is clean and the shower head outside to the left of the bathrooms! I basically filled up buckets of water and hauled it to "sand" for the kids to play with!

I was advised to get there early as we did at 8:45am. Got right onto the lot at 9am. Cars were still coming in around 11am with enough parking. Not sure if it was because it was a weekday. Fees $20 weekday and $40 weekends. They do accept credit card or debit cards and charge a $2.50 service fee. Bathrooms are clean and there are outdoor showers. Can't wait to be back!

Fantastic beach! It's not huge, but it's still a decent size. Brought my 4 yr old here on a Sunday…read moreand had a great time! We arrived about 10:30 and there was plenty of space. The nice guy in parking told us it was $30 to park for nonresidents (assume that's both parking and pass, though not sure), but free parking was available a short distance up the road and entry fee would be just $10. We went with that even though it meant I would be carrying everything to the beach. The parking was really not far... maybe one wide city block. It's literally across the playground (which you can't cut to since it's part of the park and fenced in). Then you go down the hill which is all sidewalk (good when you have kiddos), and down to the paid parking and beach. Once you arrive to the parking, you go to the restroom building on the left and there's a sign that says "passes" on the right side. Go there to pay the $10 pass. There were some rules I wasn't aware of, so some tips: umbrellas need to be behind the cones. I believe the life guard said it was to keep the incoming tide from washing it out? The tide did come up a little during the day we were there. Also, no boogie boards allowed anywhere at the beaches with life guards. What I didn't know, was it was allowed at the private beach strip between the two public beaches. There are houses overlooking the private beach area, but everyone seems to use it or at least walk it to get from one public beach to the other. I'm sure if someone really didn't want you hanging out there, they'd tell you, but we seemed to be allowed. We also were just 2 people and not a party hanging out, so that probably helps. The water was warmish in the shallow waves but cooler once in. Water is pretty clear and some areas had more seaweed than others, but not bad. There are a ton of boat type shells and not much of others. The sand and waters are full of nice pebbles, stones, and larger stones. There is also a floating raft a short distance out (of both public beach areas) that you can swim to, although we did not since my daughter still doesn't swim well. The beach gets busy after noon, but it wasn't too bad. There are a couple outdoor showers by the bathrooms that worked really well. We didn't use the bathrooms so not sure how they were. I don't know if there's a concession stand; I didn't see one. But there was an ice cream truck that came by at the main beach. A nice playground is up the hill a little bit from the beach that we were going to visit, but decided to keep moving and go home. I'd definitely come here again. For $10 and a little hassle of carrying your things a short distance, it's a really pretty and clean beach, with nice views of sailboats on the water. The waves are gentle too, so it's good for little ones. Still watch them though bc as the day went on, the waves got a little bigger and has a good pull for small kiddos.

There is very few spots to park so unless you can walk or bike during peak season, the best time to enjoy this spot is during the off season. This beach connects to Charlestown Town Beach and the Breachway so for those looking for a nice LONG walk, you could do all three! Its a small beach but absolutely beautiful. Here is some info I found online: From Seeswim.com This is a very small access point, with limited parking. The public beach is between two private ones, and not very large. We are told it's a popular spot for surfing. Parking is in a small turnaround, but there are only a few spaces. The beach is beautiful, and it is a shame that most of it is private. From GreenHillRocks.com Located in South Kingstown, RI, Green Hill is a quiet, family beach community surrounded by Atlantic blue waters, coastal ponds and conservation land. The area is a mix of pond and hillside residences that are encircled by a lush, fragrant green landscape. Homes and cottages enjoy ocean breezes & abundant views of the Atlantic ocean & salt ponds. Surfing, especially in the stormy winter season, is quite popular. Enjoyment of Green Hill shores is moderated by the fact that there are few areas to park. Permitted parking areas and lots are available only to specific residental zones. Mostly, people walk or bike to the beach where they encounter friends old and new. Ocean tides & Nor'easters constantly reshape the shoreline. Green Hill is arguably one of the most beloved & ever changing coastlines in all of South County, RI.
