You have to try this little private family beach just a mile down from Misquamicut State Beach. Great atmosphere and restroom/changin/shower facilities and always enough space, even on the busiest of beach days. The parking lot is limited, so once it is full, you are out of luck. But if you are an early bird, it is so worth it!

It's also a nature preserve and the nesting grounds of piping plovers. We visited in the off-season and no problem parking (will be quite different in the height of summer. Good luck!). You can find many nice shell specimens, horseshoe crab carapaces, driftwood, and polished stones. Take a gander at the Watch Hill lighthouse in the distance as well as all the hoity-toity beachfront houses (including Tay Tay's for all you Swifties!).

The beach is beautifuly maintained & the bathrooms are neat & clean. It does get crowded on the weekends but I've always been able to secure a spot on the beach & a spot in the parking lot. It's pretty laid back, mostly families here since it's "private" and meant for Westerly residents only. There can be some obnoxious teenagers on the patio area once school lets out but there's plenty of room to avoid them unless you're using the bathrooms or grabbing a bite to eat. The concessions stand is awesome. They're run by West Bakery (which I need to try) and offer your usual light beach fare at a reasonable price. I'm partial to their milkshakes, the Atlantic Turkey & their burgers. Everything I've tried has been pretty good though.

Not sure if there is a dedicated parking lot for this beach, but we parked downtown which is only like a 5min walk away (some great shops and restaurants here.) The beach was clean, not crowded at all, and made the perfect spot for me to devour my ham & cheese croissant.

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 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.

This was my first time going to this beach and I had a blast!

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!

The only downside is you do have to get here extra early for parking because by 9:30 (especially during high season) the parking lot gets full. I highly recommend carpooling and coming in a small vehicle. Makes your chances of finding working even better. There aren't any nearby places for food or drink so pack a cooler and bring it over with some snacks. No dogs allowed during peak season. Must pay for parking. They take credit cards. Lifeguards are available in certain parts. Very quiet beach and a perfect spot to come relax in the summer.
