East Beach in Charlestown, Rhode Island is a nice little beach
to visit in order to have some fun in the sun. While there is not a lot to do
or see at this beach (besides the water and clear blue sky), it was not very
crowded when I visited so it was easy to relax without personal space being
invaded by others. Parking is limited, so make sure you get there as early as
possible so that you don’t have to find a parking spot elsewhere.
Here are my top 6 tips for visiting East Beach –
1)
Like I mentioned, parking is limited to the
first one hundred cars, and when they have that number I believe they close the
lot for the day. So, it is best to get there basically right when they open so
that you are guaranteed a spot.
2)
Bring something to do, especially if you have
kids as there is not a lot to do/see at this beach. I’d recommend bringing a
good book, or some headphones. For kids, sand toys such as sand buckets and
shovels would be a great option so that they can build sandcastles.
3)
Protect your skin, especially if you plan to
spend a few hours there. If you do get burned, get some aloe to rub on your
skin.
4)
Keep hydrated! With water, or Gatorade as long
as you are getting your fluids in you should be fine.
5)
Be cautious walking on the sand. In the morning
it was fine to walk on, but by 1 pm it was way too hot to walk barefoot on and I
had to put my sandals back on.
6)
Lastly, I would recommend bringing a picnic of
some sort if you plan to spend all day at the beach, as there are no food
vendors on or in walking distance to the beach.
