We want everyone to enjoy our state beaches. Free state beach parking passes are available for disabled Rhode Island residents who meet certain requirements under Rhode Island State Law. Individuals must provide a current-year benefit verification letter verifying that they are collecting disability benefits with the Social Security Administration or a letter from the Veteran’s Administration stating that they are disabled due to a service-connected injury.
