Can someone tell me about Charlestown, Rhode Island?

Question

My family is renting a beach house there for two weeks this summer. Is there fun stuff to do for 17/18 year olds? What are some good beaches? Thanks!

Has anyone actually spent time there? I'd rather learn about that than just information from the town itself. Thanks

Answer 1

Rhode Island is the three-mile-long East Beach, located near Charlestown's Ninigret Conservation Area. This remote, unspoiled barrier beach has sugar-white sand, gentle surf and clear, turquoise waters, all adjacent to Ninigret Pond, a saltwater pond renowned as one of New England's best wind surfing areas. The pond also supports a great variety of wildlife, as does the adjacent Kimball Wildlife Refuge. Nearby Ninigret Park, situated on 172 acres, features picnic grounds, ball fields, a 10-speed bike course and tennis and basketball courts. The park also includes a three-acre, spring-fed swimming pond and the Frosty Drew Memorial Nature Center with walking trails on the park grounds.

The Big Apple Circus delights children of all ages every July with its one-ring European-style circus held on the Ninigret Park grounds. Each August at Ninigret Park, the Charlestown Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Seafood Festival, a roll-up-your-sleeves feast featuring quahogs, clam chowder, clam cakes, lobster and other Rhode Island seafood specialties.

Charlestown Town Beach is a really nice place to go visit. The sand is so deep and soft. The waves roll upon the beach and slowly slip away. Haven't seen too many people swim here though, and if they do get in the water, they don't go very deep.

We have been to Charlestown many times. You will like it alot. There are also other popular beaches nearby like Misquamicut Beach, and that is a big teen hangout.
