East Beach is located on Block Island Sound in Charlestown Rhode Island. It is about a mile long. There is a parking lot at one end and a breachway at the other, so access is from one direction only. The parking lot is very small meaning that if you want a spot you have to get there early on a good beach day (9 or 9:30 on a weekday). The plus side is that East Beach is never crowded. It’s quiet, secluded and thong friendly. At the water’s edge walk to the left a few hundred yards. Male and female thongers very common.

This is good to know, thanks!. Have you been to First or Second Beach in Newport? How are they?
I’ve mentioned Goosewing Beach in a previous thread, farther to the east (in Little Compton on the MA border). I walk there from the town beach and haven’t gotten a second glance when I wear thongs there. It’s always crowded at the town beach and there are always women in thongs there, but the people thin out pretty quickly once you’ve walked a few hundred yards.

Oh wait, never mind, Second Beach appears to be known to be thong-friendly.
No. The only thong friendly beach I;ve been to in Mass. is Herrinng Cove, Then Moonstone in RI which was a nude beach. But it eventually got too crowded then a few years later closed altogether. I’ve been going to East beach for at least 20 years. A few years ago I got a 4x4 pickup truck and can go down as far as I want. I try to go once a week at least in the summer.
I went to East Beach 2x last summer and had no issues. I also went to Misquamicut State Beach 2x, Second Beach in Middletown 1x and another small community beach about 10 minutes north 1x.
Other than getting a wolf whistle at Second Beach, no one said anything at the other Rhode Island beaches but I’m sure I raised a few eyebrows.
Between New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont - I bet I wore a thong on roughly 20 beaches last summer.
