East Beach State Beach in Charlestown, Rhode Island, is just a few hundred yards/meters along an uneven sand road from Blue Shutters Town Beach (map).

East Beach charges the same daily parking fee as other Rhode Island state beaches, but has limited parking and facilities: just composting toilets and lifeguards.

The beach itself is of medium-fine golden sand, but drops off fairly steeply to the sea, which means the surf is farily active and not good for children not immediately attended by an adult.

You reach East Beach State Beach from US Route 1, then south along East Beach Road. Watch for signs saying "East Beach" and "Blue Shutters Beach."
