Such an incredible spot in Jamestown with sweeping views of Narragansett Bay and the open ocean to the south. You can walk on the large rocks and jump in, but be careful!

Great place to go for a walk by yourself or with friends or family. Amazing views of the bay stretching out into the Atlantic Ocean. Lighthouse is very well kept and has a museum and even a small aquarium for the kids. The original foundation of the original lighthouse circa 1750-1760s I believe, is still intact. Unfortunately the original lighthouse was burnt down by the British during the Revolutionary period. Either way there are so many cliffs to behold and views of sail boats passing by.

Beavertail is one of my favorite places to be. The salt air and sounds of the ocean waves crashing on the rocks is soothing to say the least. I usually stay for hours.

I found this place by accident. I went to Jamestown to visit somewhere else and happened upon this place. I am so glad I did. I want to go back and spend more time there seeing how it was absolutely fridged when I was there. Love the light house, and the scenery was gorgeous.

Is overnight RV parking available?

Sheila Sullivan | Sep 9, 2019
Fred Brissette, Jr. | Sep 9, 2019

White it does, technically, close after sundown, I have been there late nights fishing. There are no gates and I have never seen anyone asked to leave by police or Parks Services. There are a lot of people who go to look at the night skyline, watch sunsets, and night fish. As for RV's, I believe that you have to get a permit to park for any extended period longer than a day.

Yes you can. Easy in, easy out, all paved road. You'll probably like the second parking area just before the lighthouse. It's the largest parking area,has grass and excellent for RVs. Have fun

I saw pictures of a little shallow area to wade in. Where in the park is this? How do you get to it?

Kyla Savignac | Sep 9, 2018
Abigail Allen (Abby) | Sep 9, 2018

There are places you can climb down to at low tide, but since wet rocks are slipery, I suggest not doing so at high tide. You see the baths if you walk around on the road. Paths do not have steps or guard rails so be careful.
