Review & FAQ:

Over on the western shore, Charlestown Beach is one of the best beaches on Block Island for watching the sunset.

It's a family-friendly beach, with soft, comfortable sands and shallow waters, providing ideal conditions for picnics, paddling, romantic strolls, beach games, and more. It's also located near the New Harbor, so it's a nice spot to sit and watch the various sea traffic sailing in and out of the island. The waters can get quite choppy away from the shore, however, so it's okay to dip your toes here but full swimming isn't recommended.
