This Beach Along The Rhode Island Coast Is The Best Place To Find Seashells

We all have our favorite place on the Rhode Island coast, whether we want to soak up the sun on a sandy beach or 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 hidden beach found in gorgeous Narragansett Rhode Island:

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.
