Named for the man who developed the Rhode Island State Life-Saving System, Roger W Wheeler Memorial State Beach is in an appropriate spot for life saving: right next to the dock for ferries venturing out into the Atlantic on their way to Block Island. Wheeler Beach has a pavilion with free cold and coin-operated hot showers, toilets (including for the disabled), snacks and drinks stand, and telephones. There are 63 picnic tables, a children's playground, and a lifeguard. The dock for ferries to Block Island is within easy walking distance, as are several good restaurants. The ferry dock and beach are a 10- to 15-minute walk from Fishermen's Memorial State Park in Point Judith, which has camping, and only a little farther from Scarborough State Beach, one of Rhode Island's best and most popular beaches.
