  • What are the beaches like near the cottages?
    Our beach front cottages sit on a small section of the Rhode Island shoreline in Matunuck. The beach has a shore break which is ideal for swimming but not for riding waves. There are however multiple off shore wave breaks accessible from the beach for those looking to surf. South Kingstown Town Beach is located approximately a quarter mile from the cottages. There is a fee for parking but there is no cost for those walking on to the beach. The beach offers a small pavilion with bathrooms and showers. It has a similar shore break to the section of beach in front of the cottages. All non-beach front cottage guests (Pond House, Bungalow & Barnacle) will receive a parking pass for their stay. Access to East Matunuck State Beach is located approximately 0.7 miles from the cottages. There is a boardwalk that goes down to the beach and it is free when you walk on. Parking for this beach is further away (4.5 miles) and you are required to pay. This beach has a full pavilion with playground, snack shack and bathrooms. The waves break further from shore and would therefore be the best choice for those looking to body surf or boogie board.
