Scarborough North in Narragansett

Goddard Park in Warwick Kent County YMCA in Warwick Sandy Point in Portsmouth

Warren Town Beach in Warren Kingston’s Camp in South Kingstown

RIDOH will continue to monitor and review beach water quality through Labor Day. The status of a beach may change as new data become available. The most up-to-date beach information is available through a recorded message on RIDOH’s beaches telephone line (401-222-2751).
