Four of the state’s most admired white sand beaches are located along Narragansett’s picturesque coast, including the top-ranked Narragansett Town Beach. Located in the center of the town, this beach is walking distance from the shops, historical sites, and restaurants of Narragansett Pier. Equally accessible are walking trails, bike paths, and the scenic Narragansett sea wall. Narragansett is also known as a surfing destination, featuring some of New England’s most sought after breaks.

Narragansett boasts definitive examples of Gilded Age architecture attributed to the era’s most illustrious designers. The Towers, once a part of the elegant Narragansett Pier Casino and now open to the public, were designed by the preeminent McKim, Mead & White firm. Further down Ocean Road are some of the most desirable waterfront estates in the region: Victorian shingle style masterpieces perched along the dramatic granite outcroppings overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
