Charlestown, Rhode Island: This southern Rhode Island community fronting the Atlantic Ocean has long been recognized as a naturalist’s paradise. Much of the community is set aside as a nature reserve or management area, along its barrier beaches or the shores of its interior ponds and swamps.

Charlestown is an ideal spot for surfing,  swimming , and  camping . One of the best kept secrets in Rhode Island is the three-mile-long East Beach, located near Charlestown’s Ninigret Conservation Area. This remote, unspoiled barrier beach has sugar-white sand, gentle surf and clear, turquoise waters, all adjacent to Ninigret Pond, a saltwater pond renowned as one of New England’s best wind surfing areas. The pond also supports a great variety of wildlife, as does the adjacent Kimball Wildlife Refuge.

Nearby Ninigret Park, situated on 172 acres, features picnic grounds, ball fields, a 10-speed bike course and tennis and basketball courts. The park also includes a three-acre, spring-fed swimming pond and the Frosty Drew Memorial Nature Center with walking trails on the park grounds.
