You’ll Find One Of Rhode Island’s Best Beaches At Warwick City Park

What comes to mind when you think of Rhode Island's best beach? Some might flock to Narragansett or the beaches of Block Island, while others might have a more off-the-beaten-path destination in mind. But did you know that there's a small beach in Warwick City Park called Buttonwoods Beach? Here's why you should check out this local treasure this summer.

Warwick City Park is a popular local gem with plenty of amenities.

From baseball fields to bicycle paths and playgrounds, you'll find all kinds of outdoor recreation opportunities here.

This picturesque 126-acre park is a fun gathering place, especially in the summer.

The park is open from dawn to dusk daily.

You'll find plenty of places to walk here between the three miles of paved paths, woodlands, and ponds...

...but the sprawling beach is definitely the highlight.

Warwick is within easy reach of the South County vacation area which includes oceanfront beaches like no other.

Buttonwoods Beach is a long, sprawling sandy beach with some seriously stunning views.

In the summertime, the lifeguard seat is occupied, and you'll find plenty of swimmers enjoying some fun in the sun.

Buttonwoods Beach is a neighborhood gem that happens to be extremely underrated.

There are plenty of picnic areas and restrooms, so you can stay as long as you'd like.

Warwick is located just 12 miles south of downtown Providence, but you'll feel like you're in your own world when you visit this park.
