Linda SongAugust 1, 2015A beautiful beach and a popular one too! Great sand, nice swells...my only complaint is the strip of gravel hidden in the waves that makes getting in and out of the ocean a little painful hahaha
- Best beach ever. After I have tried most of the beach in Rhode Island. Misquamitic beach is the best beach ever. Clean water, huge waves and beautiful sand and awful lifeguards. Love this place.
This feels like a huge beach to me. I go in the evening so I don't have to pay for parking, usually after 4:00pm is good. Good waves good sunsets.
Rachel PowersJuly 6, 2015Be sure to get a spot early. Beach was packed by 9:00. And make it a point to stop by Paddy's ;)
Emily PiecrustJuly 31, 2013It's 3 quarters for a 3-minute hot shower. Feels nice to get the salt and sand out of your hair!
Bagoly💀September 14, 2014Every September, on the last day or fall fest, is the surftown half marathon & 5k. One of the best course in all of New England. Is run, you have to do this race.
United Sewer & DrainAugust 16, 2016Great Beach to take the family, plenty of great food lodging and entertainment.
JD MSeptember 26, 2013OK. No kites, footballs, frisbees, or digging in the sand for you or your children. If you are good with that...then it's an excellent beach for swimming and sun.
don't give up on finding parking cheaper than $20. it can be done.
Michelle MichelleJune 21, 2011Get there early because the beach gets packed quick!!!! 8:00 am is a good time to be arriving. Your better off bringing your own food because the snack bar is expensive.
For the love of God; if the Lifeguards tell you to do something or stop what you're doing; LISTEN TO THEM!!
Water has LOTS of seaweed. Sand in water is extremely rocky and pebbly and hurts feet. Other than that good beach...
- If you buy Lifeguard clothing and you're not a Lifeguard or don't work here. The Lifeguard's will hate you and let you drown.
Melissa LindseyJuly 17, 2012Don't let your 4 year old on swings because they break mid swing! Besides that great day!
Jim MatthewsMay 30, 2013If buying food, avoid the undercooked (if even cooked) pretzels! Italian ice and soft serve are quite nice though not a meal
Chanda 💋 MillzJuly 20, 2014Not all that. I prefer Newport. The crowd was kinda ratchet and the sand is rocky. It's like a step up from Scarborough...
Tom LaughnerJuly 6, 2010Avoid the portapotties in the parking lot (at all costs). Instead, use the facilities at the top of the stairs.

"Super beach. Wonderful for families. Lifeguards not like other places they actually talk to you if you need them. Watched a rescue and a lost kid get help from LG to find his mom. Loved it"
