After a long, seemingly endless period of staying home and enjoying the great indoors, it’s only natural to want to spend as much time as possible experiencing the great outdoors. The next time you’re able to enjoy an outdoor adventure, we highly recommend heading straight to the Ninigret Conservation Area in Charlestown. The East Beach Loop will be just what you need.
The East Beach Loop is a 2.3 mile out-and-back trail that offers a nice, easy pace.

This trail is a beautiful blend of beach and forest, not unlike the state of Rhode Island itself.

The trail is open year-round, but it’s best enjoyed in the late spring or in the summertime.

This spit of land offers ocean views on one side and a pond on the other.

The Ninigret Conservation Area occupies about three miles of prime beach shoreline, and it’s one of Rhode Island’s most underrated seaside treasures.
Jamie McAnulty / alltrails.com There are actually several trails you can take here, but the East Beach Loop is the most popular.
As you can imagine, this trail will be a popular place when summer arrives.

Hiking season is almost upon us, and it will feel amazing to get back to our nature walks and appreciate the stunning state we call home. Add this trail to your summer bucket list.
