Rhode Island is a great state to visit because it is so small and yet offers so much. Some of the best features of Rhode Island are the beaches and at the top of the list is Narragansett's Scarborough Beach with its boardwalk, picnic areas and fine white sand. It's a state beach so there is ample parking. Rhode Island is known as, "The Ocean State."
A large part of Rhode Island is Narragansett Bay, and though it is a beautiful body of water with many islands and recreational opportunities, I think the ocean beaches are much more fun. The sand is fine and easy on the feet and comfortable to lie on if sunbathing is your thing. It is known as, "baby sand," because it is fine and packs down nicely without abrasive edges. There is also a beach known as Moonstone Beach because it has rounded stones, shaped by the action of the tide over millennia. Though it is a nice beach, it is a little less accessible and more difficult to walk because of the stones. Gentle sand is the preferred surface for beach combing.
The wave action of the ocean beaches is also nice. There's nothing quite like the soothing sound of the ocean as it washes in and out on a sandy shore. Add the cries of gulls and other sea birds and you've got nature's own melody. Lying on a beach in Rhode Island and listening to the birds and ocean can be one of the most soothing experiences. It's no wonder that many people go to that tiny state for rest and relaxation.
The area of Rhode Island that has the most beaches is called South County. If you want to be near many beaches and also find great restaurants with fresh seafood, that's the best place to stay. Like the rest of the state, it isn't big but there are motels, hotels, and bed and breakfasts right near the water. Though summer is the most popular time of year to enjoy the beaches, from June to August, other seasons offer opportunities to enjoy them as well.
Because Rhode Island is part of New England, the changing seasons offer opportunities to enjoy the spectacular colors of leaves in Autumn. Have you ever walked on a beach in late Fall or Winter? You may have miles of beach to yourself and see spectacular waves crashing on a windswept shore. After a walk on the beach in the crisp air, a bowl of seafood chowder tastes even better.
Because of the above reasons, people who want to enjoy the true ocean experience in the Ocean State usually stay in Narragansett in South County, Rhode Island.
