Spot Guide
Eastons Beach, known locally as 1st Beach, is a popular Rhode Island surf spot nestled along the shores of Newport, offering mellow beach break waves that are perfect for beginners and longboarders. Facing NNW toward Narragansett Bay's open Atlantic exposure, it picks up south and southeast swells that wrap into the bay, producing fun, rolling waves with a forgiving sandy bottom. The spot is a favorite summer destination for learners and tourists, though fall brings more consistent swell and a thinning crowd for those looking to score cleaner conditions.
