Charlestown (Town Beach)

The Charlestown Town Beach boat ramp provides convenient public access to Ninigret Pond and adjacent Green Hill Pond via a twin concrete plank ramp with sandy/gravel shoreline. Located off Charlestown Beach Road near Creek Bridge, this site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The facility offers a straightforward launch point for exploring these relatively calm, scenic salt ponds and their extensive shorelines. Portable restrooms are typically available during beach season.

This location serves as a gateway to both paddling and boating on two interconnected water bodies. Paddlers have excellent access to protected pond exploration, while the nearby Breachway provides an outlet to Block Island Sound for those seeking more open water. Several commercial marinas on Ninigret Pond (Ocean House, Ninigret Landing, and Shelter Cove) offer additional services and amenities for a fee. Note that operating hours and seasonal fees may apply—contact ahead during peak season to confirm current access details.
