Beach sights in Newport

  1. Sachuest Beach

    East of Easton’s Beach along Purgatory Rd lies Sachuest Beach, named for the nearby wildlife sanctuary. It’s prettier and cleaner than Easton’s Beach and has showers, a snack bar and a lovely setting, overlooked by the neo-Gothic tower of St George’s prep school.

    Gooseberry Beach

    Other ‘pocket’ beaches exist along Ocean Ave, but most of these, such as Bailey’s Beach, are private. An exception is Gooseberry Beach, which has calm waters, white sand and a restaurant.

    Third Beach

    Third Beach is a short distance east of Second Beach. Popular with families because it is protected from the open ocean, Third Beach also appeals to windsurfers because the water is calm and the winds steady.
