    Beaches & Water Sports

    Rhode Island is home to an astounding 400 miles of coastline. The beach communities of Bristol and Narragansett have been named top destinations by Coastal Living and Thrillist, respectively, because they provide those iconic beach experiences for families and individuals of every age: wide swaths of sand, perfect-sized waves for swimming, selfie-perfect vistas, and surrounding clam shacks, beach bars and shops where flip-flops are the rule. For those who want their time on the water to come with a heaping side of activity, there's surfing, parasailing, scuba diving, kayaking, and more!  From October 1 to March 31, beach parking is free and well-mannered dogs are welcome to enjoy the sand and surf alongside you.
