Barrington Beach

Barrington Beach is a public beach along Narragansett Bay with a shoreline of sand, shells, and small stones that stretches along Bay Road. The water edges meet grassy areas that back the beach, creating a simple recreational space.

The beach developed as a recreation spot where residents sought water access and outdoor time. It has served the community as a gathering place across many decades.

Local families gather at this beach during summer months, participating in water activities while maintaining neighborhood connections within the Barrington community.

The beach requires parking permits that differ for residents and non-residents. Lifeguards are on duty and basic facilities are available during operating hours.

The waters are shaped by tidal patterns that shift the swimming conditions throughout the day. Shell collecting is a quiet activity many visitors discover while walking the shore.
