Latest reviews on Little Compton's beaches

Second Beach
10 Zayn Ali

This beach is truly one of the most remarkable ones I have ever visited! The parking area was quite spacious, accommodating a large number of vehicles. Although there were some rocks, they were not as abundant as other beaches, allowing for leisurely strolls along the shore. I came across a variety of rocks, each with unique shapes and sizes that I had never seen before. Despite the chilly water, the waves were absolutely magnificent. Our stop in Middletown after leaving Newport was well worth it, as we were greeted with a picturesque location of tranquil dunes and crashing waves. Upon arrival, we noticed some guidelines posted near the entrance, although they appeared to be more of a minor inconvenience than a problem. Overall, this destination is definitely worth the drive!

Horseneck Beach II

The beach is absolutely beautiful, but you need to be a member to access it.

Horseneck Beach
10 Soren Zamaro

What a splendid opportunity to bask in the glory of Mother Nature! The sun is shining, the waves are crashing, and the sand is oh so inviting. It's the perfect day to frolic in the great outdoors and soak up some vitamin D. Don't let this moment pass you by, seize the day and make some unforgettable memories on the beach.

Third Beach
6 Seth McAllister

This beach is a true gem, especially for families with little ones and those who enjoy kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. The beach is well-protected and offers a peaceful atmosphere for a day of relaxation and fun. However, it's important to note that during the peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), a seasonal pass is required for parking. But fear not, if you plan accordingly and arrive early or late, you can still enjoy all that this beach has to offer without any hassle.

Fogland Beach
10 Lena Novotná

Tiverton is home to a stunning beach that is a true gem. Unlike other beaches, you can easily park your vehicle right by the shoreline, eliminating the hassle of carrying your belongings through crowded parking lots. Before leaving, make sure to indulge in some delicious Gray's Ice Cream.

South Shore Beach
8 John Rivers

There was no seaweed during our visit, which was absolutely beautiful! However, it's worth mentioning that there are no restrooms available during our September visit. I wonder if there are portable toilets during the summer months?

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 23.3°C and the water temperature up to 21.2°C. The coldest month is February, with the air temperature dropping down to 4.3°C and the water temperature down to 3.8°C.
