Hidden Gems: Uncovering the Best Beach Bars in America

18. Ocean Mist, Rhode Island

The sign says it all. Somewhat hidden in the seaside surfing village of Matunuck, Rhode Island —it’s here where beach goers, bikers, surfers and music fans gather to revel in authentic East Coast beach culture. The Ocean Mist serves awesome food morning, noon, and night. Whether it’s brunch on Sunday, DJs spinning reggae on Tuesday nights, live music on a Saturday afternoon, or maybe just a quiet moment of sun, surf, and sand…there’s something for everyone here at the Ocean Mist.

Simply put, Ocean Mist is everything that a beach bar should be, they check all the boxes. Dozens of choice beers on draught, some of the freshest seafood in RI, and live music! Oh and their deck actually hangs over the waves, and you can see Block Island in the distance. The only thing that is weak is the name, but maybe that is to keep the knuckleheads away. Ocean Mist is truly one of the best beach bars in America!
