This place near Matunuck Beach on the Bay is really nice. We had a great time hanging out with friends and the seafood restaurants in the area are fantastic. We're planning to come back in August.

Charlestown Beach

This location is stunning. I had hoped to witness the sunset from the bridge before the beach, but unfortunately, the clouds obstructed the view. Despite this, the beach was a sight to behold. There were many visitors with their jeeps and SUVs, and a group of people gathered around a lit fire pit while others enjoyed a picnic. Overall, this was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited. I've included some pictures of the bridge where the sunset can be seen at its finest.

Roger Wheeler Beach

We tried the lobster rolls at this beach and they were really delicious. Unfortunately, we didn't take a picture, but overall it's a nice beach. I believe it's around $12 per person unless you have a pass.
