Ed's Beach - There is limited parking at Ed's beach but this beach is a 3-4 min walk (.3 miles from the house.). This beach is the rockier of the two beaches however has the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. You can also go clamming (RI clamming license required.). The beach has a boat launch and you can also bring your own or rent kayaks/paddleboards. Sorry,. there is no boat trailer parking available as the parking is very limited. You can see the Jamestown bridge and the Newport Bridge from this beach.

Anthony's beach - Anthony's beach is a flat 9-10 minute walk and is .5 miles away from the house. There is no parking available and the beach path is nestled away to reveal a sandy beach. The waves are very subtle as you are in the Bay.

If you like to walk or ride bikes this community is very safe to do both. There is a 1.2 mile loop that takes you by the water and past both beaches. There is very little traffic and residents are very cautious of pedestrians. Be sure to wave as everyone is very friendly.

The town of Wickford, named USA todays best historic town in 2022 is a short 10 minute drive down the road and is super cute. Several restaurants and local business line the main road and the town often has art exhibits and other outdoor events such as the witches paddle near Halloween. Wickford Harbor is gorgeous and is also great to explore!! If you want to rent a Kayak, the Kayak Center is right in the heart of Wickford.
