Charlestown Breachway State Beach, Coastal state park in Charlestown, Rhode Island.
The beach stretches along Block Island Sound, featuring a manmade channel that connects Ninigret Pond with the Atlantic Ocean waters.
In 1904, the Rhode Island General Assembly allocated 5000 dollars to construct a permanent breachway for maintaining suitable conditions for oyster cultivation.
The waterfront location serves as a gathering point for fishing enthusiasts who frequent the area to catch various marine species throughout the year.
The park provides 75 designated camping spots exclusively for recreational vehicles equipped with permanent holding tanks for water and waste management.
The beach construction involved transporting stones for the east jetty using a horse-drawn narrow-gauge railroad system across the coastal terrain.
