EAST BEACH
The Atlantic Ocean offers East Beach offers
spectacular views of Block Island in the distances and good
surfacing conditions when the "sea is up". Locals are very
familiar with the conditions and make for an entertaining day
with much to do. The sand is white, the water is refreshing, and
the sun is great for bronzing. The Atlantic is ideal for the
avid fisherman and challenged yachtsman.

NAPATREE
BEACH
Situated where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Long
Island Sound this 1 1/2 mile sandy beach separates the Little
Narraganset Bay from the sea where sand pipers, ospreys, and
other protected species live within the dunes. The surf is calm
and ideal for children.
Just behind the dunes one can find hundreds of boats whose
owners bring the families to spend an all day or weekend in this
pristine environment. From Napatree Points you can see New York,
Rhode Island and Connecticut.
