Roger Wheeler State Beach, Public beach in Narragansett, United States.
The white sand beach extends along Block Island Sound with a protective breakwater barrier creating gentle surf conditions for swimmers.
The beach received its name in 1970 to honor Captain Roger Wheeler, who established the Rhode Island State Life-Saving System.
The location maintains an environmental education center within its pavilion where children learn about coastal ecosystems and marine life.
The beach provides facilities including restrooms, showers, picnic tables, a playground, and a concession stand with different pricing for residents and non-residents.
The beach features an extremely gradual water depth progression, making it particularly suitable for teaching young children to swim.
