Named after Roger W. Wheeler, who created the Rhode Island State Life-Saving System, this state beach carries on his commitment to staffing beaches with trained, alert, and capable lifeguards.

The beach is not only a safe choice for families with children, but it’s also a convenient choice. A pavilion, concession building, coin-operated hot showers, playground, and an environmental educational area ensure a day of comfort and fun.

There are 63 picnic tables available for use. A large, paved parking lot is on-site. Lifeguard tours are staffed seasonally, as weather permits. No animals are allowed on the beach.
