Fodor's Expert Review South Kingstown Town Beach

The ⅓-mile-long town beach—with a playground, a boardwalk, a volleyball court, and picnic tables—cannot be seen from the road and doesn't fill as quickly as the nearby state beaches. Surfers like this beach's waves; you can take lessons here in the summer. Amenities: lifeguards; parking (fee); toilets. Best for: sunset; surfing; swimming; walking.
