Pristine, sandy beach. Crystal clear wayer and no rocks. Bonus is that you don't have to wade half a mile to get into waist high water.

Gorgeous beach. Small parking lot. No amenities other than restroom facilities. Very rough, pot holed road in for the last half mile.

What is needed to drive on the beach. When is it open to vehicles.

Rick grant | Sep 19, 2018
Mitchell C | Sep 19, 2018

You need a permit which get from the State of Rhode Island. Not sure that you can drive on the beach itself, but rather the access road and parking off-road available from that road. All of the info you need is available on-line on the State website.

When does the 4x4 parking area on the sand trail tend to fill up in the summer (not the regular lot for cars)? Weekends vs weekdays, etc?

Ian MacFarlane | Sep 18, 2020
Epic Shoots Photography | Sep 18, 2020

I have never seen that area fill up. Since you need a yearly pass to get on and its not open to everyone, its still relatively quiet. I've been going there for 5 years and have never been unable to get in.
