RIDOH is the official authority for Rhode Island beach closures. A listed closure means the water is not currently safe for swimming or other in-water activities, though the beach facility may remain open. RIDOH monitors licensed beach facilities; this map may briefly lag, so confirm the latest status with RIDOH.
