At 100 Sand Hill Cove Road, Narragansett, you can find Roger Wheeler State Beach – a beach that got its name 36 years ago when Mr. Roger Wheeler came up with a plan to set up a system of lifeguards along all coastlines and beaches to prevent accidents.

Over the years, trained and equipped lifeguards have saved many lives, and that is how the beach got its name. The beach has amenities like showers, an educational area promoting environmental issues, lifeguard watchtowers, and concession stands.
