More About Scarborough State Beach
Located on Ocean Road, Scarborough State Beach is typically accessed by Burnside Avenue, off of Route 108. With abundant rentals in the area, it is a favorite of University of Rhode Island and summer residents. Both the North and South pavilions have parking areas, and an additional lot is available on Burnside Avenue. Unless you are walking to the beach, there is very little street and free parking in the area, as compared to other Narragansett beaches. A large green area at Scarborough allows for frisbee, picnics and other light activities.
