There are a few parking spots on Peckham Ave, but easy to walk to along Indian Ave. (No lifeguards or restrooms, street parking)

This quiet, shallow 1/2 mile beach is located on the Sakonnet River at the end of Sandy Point Avenue and is great for families. Very clean and calm water! Little pebbles at the surface of the water but get to your knees and it’s firm clean sand. Has a very laid back feel because it’s a bit hidden and not as crowded as Easton’s Beach. Many people come to fish here in the evening. Please note: There are not always lifeguards on duty at this beach. (Restrooms, Changing Rooms, parking, doesn’t always have lifeguards).
