It was much quieter and with less people than Narragansett beach would have been, though. What knocks it down to 3.5 for me is that it's very rocky. I went into the ocean but you have to walk over some rocks before getting to the sandy part, so I didn't bother. Walking back to where we were sitting was also rocky. On your way out there are restrooms and also a foot shower, which was nice.

There is very few spots to park so unless you can walk or bike during peak season, the best time to enjoy this spot is during the off season. This beach connects to Charlestown Town Beach and the Breachway so for those looking for a nice LONG walk, you could do all three! Its a small beach but absolutely beautiful. Here is some info I found online: From Seeswim.com This is a very small access point, with limited parking. The public beach is between two private ones, and not very large. We are told it's a popular spot for surfing. Parking is in a small turnaround, but there are only a few spaces. The beach is beautiful, and it is a shame that most of it is private. From GreenHillRocks.com Located in South Kingstown, RI, Green Hill is a quiet, family beach community surrounded by Atlantic blue waters, coastal ponds and conservation land. The area is a mix of pond and hillside residences that are encircled by a lush, fragrant green landscape. Homes and cottages enjoy ocean breezes & abundant views of the Atlantic ocean & salt ponds. Surfing, especially in the stormy winter season, is quite popular. Enjoyment of Green Hill shores is moderated by the fact that there are few areas to park. Permitted parking areas and lots are available only to specific residental zones. Mostly, people walk or bike to the beach where they encounter friends old and new. Ocean tides & Nor'easters constantly reshape the shoreline. Green Hill is arguably one of the most beloved & ever changing coastlines in all of South County, RI.

Warwick Pond is an 85 acre pond in the middle of Warwick, just east of the T.F. Green Airport…read more There is a boat launch off of Wells Avenue for hand-carried boats, it's mostly street parking for anyone wanting to visit or to come for any water activities. This put-in is at a small park on the east side of the pond, and provides a suitable location for launching hand-carried boats. There is no parking lot, but there is roadside parking. There's a fence between the road and the park, with a gate leading into the park. Buckeye Brook flows out of the southwest corner of the pond and is large enough to paddle for some distance. The brook is very slow moving in this area so once you have gone as far as you want to you can reverse direction and come back upstream to the pond. The shoreline of the pond is largely developed. The brook feels less developed because of the wetlands that provide a buffer between the brook and the adjacent residential neighborhoods. This pond has ongoing issues with toxic algae blooms. Such blooms are most likely to happen in the summer. When there is an algae bloom people and pets should avoid contact with the water...just check the alerts put out by the RIDOH and DEM.

My boyfriend and I moved to Warwick about a year and a half ago, and have struggled with the fact…read morethat we don't own a pool and are fairly far away from the South County beaches (especially with traffic). Not deterred, we looked into beaches in this area and came across a few options. Of course we know that there's Oakland Beach, but I'm not a huge fan of salt water swimming and it's just not that great of an ocean beach. I remember visiting lakes all the time as a kid in northern Rhode Island...I figured that there must be SOMETHING comparable around here, so I did a quick Google search. It seems like there's three main freshwater swimming areas in Warwick...Warwick Pond, Gorton Pond, and Little Pond. Well, yesterday we decided to try out Warwick Pond as it's just down the street from us. After asking around, we discovered that, while there's no public beach on this pond, there's a place where people have access to the water for swimming and boat launching. Off of Lake Shore Drive, there's a little dirt road called "Wells Ave" on the map that goes right into the pond. It's not like you could go there and have a picnic, but it was fine for us! We parked on Lake Shore Drive, walked down, and hopped right in. Although a little murky and you should probably wear water shoes, the water was refreshing and perfect for a hot day. We want to try out the other two ponds as well, but we had a ton of fun just hanging out and swimming. We even saw some other people swimming there as well, and a few people came and launched boats while we were there. A pretty popular spot, it seems! One last thing to mention...while it was great for a short swim, somebody living in the area mentioned that the people living in the houses that are right next to this access road don't appreciate it when people get too loud. So it wouldn't be a good place for drinking or noisy late-night swimming -- mostly just for families, couples, solo swimming, etc.
