[@Will_Richmond]( Good morning, I'm Will Richmond at The Providence Journal and this is the Daily Briefing. Narragansett Beach is quite arguably the state's best beach. This is something I feel qualified to judge. I was fortunate to grow up a quick bike ride away from Green Hill Beach in South Kingstown and spent many summer days there as a kid. I've also been to beaches along much of Rhode Island's shoreline from Westerly to Tiverton. Of course, I'm judging beaches here, so it's hard to really knock any, but Narragansett has long been a family favorite. Yes, it can get crowded and parking isn't always easy, but the beach and water are usually clean. There are all the amenities and a walk to the mouth of the Narrow River is always fun. Let's get back to the parking. Yes, it is a battle and it looks like it's about to get harder.
