The town holds the only official town common in Rhode Island, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Crescent Beach stretches along the eastern shore with inviting sand and calm waters, while Baby Beach offers a quieter, more secluded retreat. Second Beach, known locally as Sachuest Beach, is one of the best surf spots in Rhode Island. Bristol Town Beach, Walley Beach Park, and Union Street Beach each offer their own slice of waterfront access. North Kingstown Town Beach offers gentle waves and a welcoming atmosphere for a classic beach day.
