I visited Napatree Conservation Point on a sunny May day and had a wonderful experience. The area offers a scenic hike of about 4–6 miles along the beach, making it perfect for nature lovers. The beach itself is beautiful, clean, and swimmable. There’s a free public restroom available, and a shower facility for $5, which is convenient after a swim or hike. It seems like an ideal picnic spot, especially in the late summer months. Nearby, there are charming craft shops, ice cream parlors, and beachy clothing boutiques that add to the relaxed, coastal vibe. I also spotted some rare birds while exploring, which was a delightful bonus. A great spot for a peaceful day out by the sea! There was two hour free parking until May 31.

Heard that it was a great hidden gem, so wanted to check it out. It was indeed beautiful, but the setup is far from ideal. Parking for the beach is rough, either street parking that has a 2 hour limit and is a 10 minute walk to the beach (with a steep, sandy hill), or a lot that cost $50 and is a 15 minute walk with a steep, sandy hill. Didn’t see bathrooms. So if you’re a resident or staying locally, great beach. If you’re a day-tripper, just drive the extra 10 minutes over to Misquamicut.

It's a lovely area and beautiful stretch of beach BUT there is a limit on when dogs are allowed, even leashed, during peak times they will NOT 🚫 allow any dogs from 8am-6pm. Please note this.

Great place to walk along the water on either side of the peninsula. Enjoy listening to the waves, looking for shells, and watching the sunset.

Very good beach, excellent for visiting and birding. Parking is the only issue. Away from the entrance, the closest parking lot was club member only, followed by a ship parking only area, and shopping parking only area. The street parking is always full and 2-hour limited. The closest parking lot that is available to the public is at the Lily Pulitzer—almost 1km from the entrance of the beach while it demands $50, cash only, with no atm nearby. Please be prepared because even this parking trap is usually full before 11 am!

Love it here. Dogs welcome all day off season (after labor day til end of April.) On season before 8 am and after 6pm. Must be on leash. Gorgeous 😍 every single time. Consider donating to their conservation efforts if you are able. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! A must see.

The best beach in New England! Just don't plan on parking anywhere near by. Uber from Home Depot is your best bet!
