Local moves
Scarborough is Rhode Island's most popular state beach -- arrive before 9 AM on summer Saturdays or face a full lot.
RI DEM season passes cover all state beaches and pay for themselves in 2-3 visits.
If both lots are full, Roger Wheeler is 1 mile south with a more relaxed lot -- calmer water too.
Weekdays in July are dramatically easier -- the parking situation rarely becomes critical before 11 AM.
happy hunting
Lot locations, counts, rates and hours are real, geocoded from each address. No live space-count feed is published, so availability is estimated from typical beach crowds and today’s weather. Your location is used only in your browser to sort by distance.
