Scarborough State Beach is a public recreation area fronting the Atlantic Ocean in the town of Narragansett, Rhode Island. The state park occupies 60 acres (24 ha) comprising two units located at 870 and 970 Ocean Road. The beach offers saltwater bathing, picnicking, observation tower, and boardwalk.[1]

History

The beach was first developed with a pavilion in 1937. The two-unit complex was created with the addition of a southern component when the state purchased 7-acre Lido's Beach in 1981 and 9-acre Olivo's Beach in 1986.[2] Extensive renovations were completed in 1987.[3]
