Free parking at state beaches on July 29

Posted

Governor Gina M. Raimondo has signed an Executive Order announcing that the 30th Governor's Bay Day celebration will take place on Sunday, July 29.

Governor's Bay Day will include free parking at all Rhode Island state beaches, as well as fishing in Rhode Island's saltwaters without a fishing license. The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) will also waive the roundtrip fare on all service to South County beaches on Route 66 (URI/Galilee). Service to the beach will be provided on a first come, first served basis.

"Rhode Island's beaches are some of the best in the world; after all, there's a reason we're called the Ocean State," said Raimondo. "Bay Day is one of my favorite traditions that celebrates the best of our state: our beautiful parks and beaches, our thriving recreational fishing industry and our commitment to protecting our natural resources for future generations to enjoy. I hope Rhode Islanders come out to the beach on the 29th for a great Bay Day!"

Parking will be free at all state beaches, which are Charlestown Breachway, Charlestown; East Beach, Charlestown; East Matunuck State Beach, South Kingstown; Misquamicut State Beach, Westerly; Roger W. Wheeler State Beach, Narragansett; Salty Brine State Beach, Narragansett and Scarborough State Beaches (North and South), Narragansett.
