Third Beach Boat Ramp

Third Beach offers a concrete slab boat ramp providing access to the Sakonnet River and Rhode Island Sound, with a sandy beach area suitable for hand-carried boats like canoes and kayaks.

The town-owned facility includes approximately 200 parking spaces, restrooms (seasonal), picnic tables, grills, and a shade structure near the ramp.

Note that a parking fee applies during bathing season; be prepared for strong southwest winds and rough waters once away from the sheltered beach area.
