Beavertail State Park in Rhode Island is a Natural Playground.

My 7 year old was adamant about visiting Rhode Island because he was fascinated by it's tiny size. So when we decided to make a stop while driving through, I just happened to come across Beavertail State park https://www.visitrhodeisland.com/listing/beavertail-state-park/5/ and we were so glad we did!






As soon as we drove up and sun was shining and the seagulls were flying, I knew the kids were going to love it. What I didn't know was that this state park was a collection of rocky nooks and cranny's directly on the water making for some kind of natural playground of sorts. Around every corner was a new discovery of formations that made for excellent hide and seek as well as picture perfect backdrops. Our kids 6 and 7 were smitten with this place. They wanted to to keep exploring even after hours of walking up and down and through a variety of limestone and watering holes. They seemed to be right at home and even laid down for a bit on the incline of over hangs to catch some rays.





We walked around for hours (even lost track of time) and the best part was yet to be uncovered. We came across a cut out in the rock where the ocean water filled up and made for a natural swimming pool. Apparently we weren't the only ones who discovered this, because their was several people jumping in from the top of the overhang. We saw people bringing beach chairs and just posting up to take in the sun. A beach of sorts except instead of sand just miles of smooth rock to post up on. With the sailboats out at sea and the lighthouse up above, it was a one of a kind beach experience that us Floridians had certainly never experienced before.
