Last season I believe it was $10/person and $20 for parking. They charge for both from ~9-~5. You can park for free along the seawall, but you'll have to get lucky/early. I'm not sure about season passes for non-residents though. In season is Memorial Day - Labor Day. Both the lot and the beach are free outside that time.

Edit to add: Town Council was/is discussing raising those fees even higher or expanding the window which the beach is charging. There was one fight on the beach last year, which led to all sorts of consternation from the septuagenarians that populate Nextdoor/speak at Town Council meetings that the beach was too accessible to out of towners. I don't know what came of that.

Damn that’s crazy. I really hope they don’t bc they would be insane. Narragansett beach is the beach everyone goes to, it’s so weird to me they’re trying to gate-keep it. it’s not even that nice lol

Also how do they know if you paid the entrance fee? Do they stamp your hand or give you a bracelet or something? Like what happens if you paid, went to get food and came back, how do they know you didn’t sneak in?
