Local moves

·

Arrive before 9 AM on summer weekends -- Misquamicut lots fill fast and overflow is limited.

·

RI DEM season passes pay for themselves in 2-3 visits and cover all RI state beaches.

·

Weekday visits are dramatically easier -- lots rarely fill before 11 AM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

·

Atlantic Beach Park rides are walkable from the lots -- park once and walk the whole strip.
