Parks & Beaches in Warwick

It’s no secret, Lil Rhody is home to the most storied beachfront property in the United States, and when you have it, you flaunt it. As one of the peninsulas in the Narragansett Bay, Warwick has plenty of beaches to talk about. From the strip along Oakland Beach to the spacious and scenic Goddard State Park, find the coastal views you’ve heard about.

ROCKY POINT PARK

Rocky Point Park is the site of the long-standing Rocky Point Amusement Park, which operated from the 1840s until it closed in 1995. It has been recently refurbished and is now open to the public for picnics, hikes with or without a four-legged companion, or just taking in the view of Narragansett Bay. While you’re there, check out the Arch from the 1964 World’s Fair in Queen, NY, that was relocated to Rocky Point. Take only pictures, leave only footprints. Open daily from 9AM to 11PM.
