crescent beach印象

This is a nice beach with a lot of parking and facilities. There are life guards on duty and a canteen to buy lunch.
-
A reasonable walk from the New Harbor; a short walk from old Harbor. Along with some rocky sections, there were pleasant sandy sections offering some nice little shore break for body surfing.Definately will enjoy the view and swim again.

We went during the week, so the beach was not very crowded. The sand right by the beach house bathrooms/snackbar was relatively clean, but the closer you go to the ferry harbor, the sand is more full of seaweed. My biggest complaint was the amount of broken glass in the sand, and the fact the beach is open for dogs (non-leashed, too). Unfortunately, I saw many dogs relieve themselves, and only a few owners actually picked up after them. Not sure what Rhode Island beach laws are about glass bottles and dogs on beach, but broken glass and hazardous waste products do not make for a clean/safe beach :(

Crescent Beach is formally called Fred Benson Town Beach. It is the most popular beach on Block Island because of the large parking area and ease of access (short-cuts across the dunes). The sand is smooth and the waves are usually gentle.You can walk northward for 45 minutes onto Scotch Beach and Mansion Beach - all one seamless stretch of sand.Lifeguards are positioned only in the area near the pavilion.

beautiful, stretching about 2 miles from town to and past Mansion Beach. Some parts can get very crowded, depending on time of day and weather. At low tide a great walk/run. Can walk to town and then sit at an outdoor bar (National, Surf) drink a brew, watch life go by and the ferries arrive and depart.

Since I don't see "Town Beach" or "Benson's Beach" listed, I am assuming that that "Crescent Beach" is another name for the Town Beach, which is located along the crescent beach. Beautiful, clean beach with a pavilion where you can take a shower, buy a meal or utilize vending machines, rent umbrellas and other beach paraphernalia and be protected by life guards.

This is not only a great swimming beach with clear, clean water but it is also a fantastic walking beach. To top it all off the views of town and the cliffs are phenomenal! 5 stars!

I highly recommend this beach for a more quiet day. Mid-week the beach is uncrowned and has tons of natural beauty. Depending upon where you sit; there aren't bathrooms/showers etc. Great for photography and walks too.

Crescent beach is a long stretch of beach, almost three miles long, that starts near the town and runs north all the way to Clayhead bluffs. The beach is called by different names at different points, and everyone has their favorite. Our favorite is Innesvale beach.Closest to town is Surf beach. Surf beach has the smallest waves and a very gentle grade to enter the water. It also has more rocks and seaweed than the rest of the beach, but not so many that you can't enjoy the water. If you like to snorkle or have small children who might enjoy wading in shallow water while looking for perriwinkles, shells, hermit crabs, etc. This is the perfect beach for you.Next down (past the rock retaining "wall") is Baby Beach. Baby Beach is mostly named such because of the mild surf and the fact that mild surf attracts lots and lots of families. This is a popular beach with local families and a great place for children. There is no lifeguard though, so you do need to keep an eye on your kids.Town Beach, or Fred Benson Town Beach, is next. This is where the beach pavilion is. This is a great beach for kids, there are lifeguards on duty, a snack bar with great food and ice cream and bathrooms. This beach also has lots of parking.Innesvale Beach is next. The surf here is bigger and it tends to not be quite as crowded as the beaches on either side of it.Scotch Beach is popular because it has some parking (most other beaches require that you park on the road) and it is a very broad section of Crescent Beach, so, very roomy. There is usually a volleyball net here and it is popular with college age island workers and visitors.Further down is Mansion Beach, named for the mansion that once sat above this spot. The mansion burned to the ground in the 1960's, but the foundation is evident in the parking area. This beach has larger waves but, again, no facilities.Crescent Beach is the perfect beach no matter which section you like best; long, sandy and relaxing. Bring a book and a beach blanket, set up your cooler and spend the entire day here. Heaven.

Seaweed gathers close to the Inn and harbor area but is cleaner the further up the beach you go. Sand is very fine.
