Comments:
The fields for the Southern New England Kite Championships are located at:
Scarborough State Beach
970 Ocean Rd.
Narragansett RI 02882
This new location has excellent wind and faces the ocean. The Competition fields are both 275 x 300.
The 20+ acres of grass parking lots at the south side of Scarborough State Beach are mostly level grass allowing plenty of room for kites of all kinds. The Scarborough State Beach south bathhouse is in the middle of the flying field, and the beach offers ample parking.
