Review & FAQ:

The Roger Wheeler State Beach is named after Roger Wheeler, the man responsible for the Rhode Island State Life-Saving System’s development.

The beach is also known as the Sand Hill Cove Beach by locals. Roger Wheeler State Beach is protected by a large breakwater barrier from the Block Island Sound, making the beach popular among families with young children due to its gentle surf.

Visitors can enjoy the calm water, a very slight drop-off, and fine white sand.

There is also plenty of parking space, a bathhouse, picnic tables, and a playground area at the beach.
