Gooseberry Beach

Gooseberry Beach is a popular, scenic cove beach in Newport, Rhode Island, known for its calm, clear waters, white sand, and views of large estates, offering amenities like a cafe and restrooms but requiring a per-vehicle entrance fee for parking, though walk-ons are restricted. It's a protected spot perfect for families and swimming, with relatively few crowds compared to other Newport beaches, but be aware it's a "private beach" that charges for car access. You must pay for parking or a bike pass, and walk-on/drop-off access is strictly prohibited, meaning you can't be dropped off by a rideshare or walk in from the road. It's a public beach with a fee for vehicles, offering amenities like restrooms, showers, and a snack bar, with costs around $30 for a daily car pass
