Narragansett RI beach - Stinky Beach- Best in Waves! Let's go to stinky beach today and body surf with the best waves around. That was the call of the wild when we were in college and wanted a private Narragansett RI beach without prying eyes where we could roam with our boyfriends. Unfortunately, the name 'stinky beach' was a local term because of the way the coastline formed a boomerang shape and the ocean seaweed seemed to end up here...yes, on many a day a smattering of red, yellow, orange and green seaweed would be awash on this pristine white sand beach. Nonetheless it was the privacy and seemingly breathtaking piece of beach to be on that made it so special.

Just north of Narragansett's Scarborough state beach, we could park on the side streets for hours and just have peace of mind and lazy day fun after waitressing the night before. Relaxation was the order of the day...I so miss those days of carefree times don't you?

What better time after house showings down along Ocean Road in Narragansett then to revisit a favorite place and time and reminisce with camera in hand of a still perfect place. South of Black Point nature reserve, 'stinky beach' remains beautiful without much seaweed probably to the change of tides and coastline that have happened after years of storms. It remains pristine and it was so cool to see a young couple enjoying the sand and surf on this day.

If you want to visit 'stinky beach' you probably should give me a call...knowing the beaches of South County and especially in Narragansett is one of my strong points. If you have an interest in the real estate that lines this shore, you should definitely call me. Narragansett RI beach - Stinky Beach- Best in Waves!

Hey Ginny-the seaweed and "stinkiness" made it exclusive! I had and still have my private little beach tucked away from it all and love it!

Carol, as they say don't judge a book by its cover...a name can be so misleading but i love that it still is a getaway place.

Anita, it is a favored place and one little secret I can share with customers exploring the area.

Anne, it is a relaxing place and the walk to Black Point is beautiful, preserved and no building can occur along that waterfront property.

Marco, you are lucky!

BLiz, right on...I'm just amazed it has remained as nice as ever for all beachgoers to enjoy. thanks

Hi Ginny. Your photo had me sucked right in to your beautifully written post about your RI beaches. Nothing better than to walk a secluded beach in the fall don't you think?

Hi Ginny,

How do you get any work done with all the outdoor activities you have in your area?

I would find it hard to concentrate on work with so many things to do outside.

Great shot too.

Have a good day in R.I.

Best, Clint McKie

The name is a funny one. Our here we have a lot of beaches with funny names. However, the most famous is Blacks in La Jolla. Do you know what it's famous for?
