Beachfront inns, cozy B&Bs, and South County vacation rentals.
Narragansett's lodging options range from beachfront hotels steps from Town Beach to charming South County inns in the surrounding countryside. The best strategy depends on your priorities — walk-to-beach convenience versus quiet and value. Summer weekends book up months in advance; plan accordingly.
Staying near the iconic Towers puts you at the center of everything — walking distance to Town Beach, Ocean Road restaurants, and the surf shops. Several inns and small hotels occupy this premium location along Ocean Road. Worth the premium rate for the convenience alone.
Check AvailabilityThe surrounding South County communities — South Kingstown, Wakefield, and Charlestown — have excellent B&Bs and small inns, often in historic homes with full breakfasts. Slightly further from the beach but often quieter, better value, and genuinely charming.
Check AvailabilityA short drive from Narragansett in Westerly, the Weekapaug Inn is one of the finest coastal hotels in New England. Beachfront location, exceptional service, and a setting on a barrier beach between Quonochontaug Pond and the Atlantic. A special occasion property.
Check AvailabilityVRBO and Airbnb have excellent cottage and home options in Narragansett — weekly rentals in summer are the norm for families and groups. Many properties are walking distance from the beach. Renting a cottage for a full week is the classic Rhode Island shore vacation.
