We all have our favorite place on the Rhode Island coast, whether we want to soak up the sun on a sandy beach or to find a bit of solitude along the ocean’s shore. Remember how a day at the beach, at least when we were kids, meant searching for seashells and sea glass? We’d stroll along the sand, looking for the most unique shells and glass, collecting them then sharing our finds with our friends or our siblings. Relive some of those moments at this gorgeous Rhode Island beach.

Whether you call it Fred Benson Town Beach or Crescent Beach, you’ll find it’s the perfect backdrop for a day outdoors, especially during the summertime.

You don’t even have to pack the car with all of your beach gear, if you don’t feel like it. Instead, rent your chairs and umbrella right at the beach.
