Rhode Island Dog-Friendly Beaches

Rhode Island is not particularly pet-friendly, especially when it comes to its beaches. Most Rhode Island beaches have restrictions on dogs, allowing them only during the off-season. However, Block Island stands out with a dog-friendly policy, permitting dogs all year round! In Charlestown, dogs face the usual seasonal ban from April 1 to September 30 on East Beach. Narragansett's Salty Brine State Beach also prohibits all dogs during this time. Similarly, South Kingston's East Matunuck State Beach enforces a dog ban from April 1 to September 30. Misquamicut in Westerly follows this trend, as it, like all Rhode Island state beaches, bans dogs from April 1 to September 30. Have we missed your favorite Rhode Island beach?
