Narragansett is known for its summer recreation and beaches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.narragansettri.com|title=Narragansett Ri tourism,vacation rental,restaurants|website=Narragansett Ri tourism,vacation rental,restaurants|access-date=March 23, 2018}}</ref> [[Fishermen's Memorial State Park]], located near Galilee, contains a former military fort ([[Fort Greene (Narragansett, Rhode Island)|Fort Greene]]) and a campground.

Three beaches in Narragansett that are most famous are:

* [[Narragansett Town Beach]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.narragansettri.com/parks/beach.htm|title=Narragansett Town Beach|website=narragansettri.com|access-date=March 23, 2018}}</ref> is located in the center of Narragansett, though it charges a fee—whereas other local (state funded) beaches charge for parking only. Unlike state-funded beaches, it is self-sustaining and is not supported by the tax payers' money. There is a $10.00 charge to park ($15.00 on the weekends/holidays) and a daily $10.00 admission fee to enter onto the beach.
* [[Scarborough State Beach]]: The Scarborough Beach Complex comprises two separate areas, the North and South. Each has a pavilion, showers, 75 picnic tables, boardwalk and observation tower. There is a small fee for parking if a spot on nearby streets can not be found. Parking on nearby streets can result in vehicles being towed (especially during the summer months). This beach sits next to a local sewage treatment plant.
* [[Roger Wheeler State Beach]]<ref>[http://www.riparks.com/wheeler.htm Roger Wheeler State Beach] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325155714/http://www.riparks.com/wheeler.htm |date=March 25, 2010 }}</ref> and [[Salty Brine State Beach]]<ref>[http://www.riparks.com/saltybrine.htm Salty Brine State Beach] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325160205/http://www.riparks.com/saltybrine.htm |date=March 25, 2010 }}</ref> are both located in Point Judith, which is the southernmost point of Narragansett. Both beaches are protected by the breakwater that protects the port of Galilee. A new pavilion at Salty Brine State Beach opened in the summer of 2010, complete with concessions, and a wind turbine. The wind turbine was destroyed after a storm in March 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://turnto10.com/news/local/beachs-wind-turbine-collapses-in-storm|title=Wind turbine at Narragansett beach collapses in storm|first=CRYSTAL BUI, NBC 10|last=NEWS|website=turnto10.com|date=March 14, 2017|access-date=March 23, 2018}}</ref>
