Beach Road and Ocean on a Sandy Beach Shoreline from Aerial Drone
A local's tour of RI should include a trip to Benny's!
After a long day at the beach, I was paddling in my kayak back to my put in point when I came across this beautiful scene. The sun is going down over this long ago abandoned building. 

Not sure what it was. There is a old pier in the front. Maybe for fishermen?
