Known as one of the secret beaches in Rhode Island and tucked into a busy Quonset area, you never know what to expect when looking out to sea from Compass Rose Beach. From large freight ships passing through the bay to surfers looking to shred the timid waves rolling on shore. But the best part about the views is being able to tell your pet all about it while laying beside you!
All directions point to Compass Rose Beach when seeking a dog-friendly shore to relax on. The tan-colored sand emerges from the grassy area as it extends towards the coast. Keep your dog on a leash as they pounce around the sand and fling up particles or splash in the water. Your dog will likely bark at the Hobie cats cruising the surface as your dog walks as deep as the water touches its chin.
Located in North Kingston, Compass Rose Beach is a go-to destination for dog owners. Any time of the year is suitable since the beach welcomes pets during all seasons.
Address: 1347 Roger Williams Way, North Kingstown
