East Beach State Beach, Public beach in Charlestown, United States
East Beach State Beach extends for three miles along the oceanfront, separating Block Island Sound from Ninigret Pond in Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management established the recreational grounds in 1967, initially designating the area as East Beach State Park.
The beach maintains strong connections to the Quonochontaug summer colonies that developed in the 1880s, reflecting local coastal settlement patterns.
The beach provides four composting toilets, changing rooms, and a small gravel parking lot that fills quickly during summer weekends.
The beach includes 20 specialized camping sites accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicles, offering a different coastal camping experience.
