To say that Rhode Island has some beautiful beaches would be an understatement. After all, we’re called the Ocean State for good reason. That being said, some of our shoreline is so fantastic, we can’t help but thank our lucky stars to have so much of it in our backyards. If you’ve ever been to Easton’s Beach, you know exactly what we mean.

Easton's Beach is located at the beginning of the Newport Cliff Walk on Memorial Boulevard.

The beach spans about 3/4 of a mile, offering perfectly pristine sandy shoreline.
Although this beach is easily reachable and impossible to miss, it never feels overly crowded.
