Salty Brine State Beach

Construction will start in April 2009 on a new 2,800 square foot beach pavilion at Salty Brine State Beach in Narragansett, RI.  The beach will be open to the public during the summer of 2009 outside of the fenced construction area at no charge.  The new facility is scheduled to open for the 2010 summer season.  The project includes a new boardwalk along the jetty with overlook platforms, a shade structure, decks, and a small residential scale wind turbine to provide electricity for the facility.  The pavilion will include a concession stand, restrooms, solar hot water to supply coin operated hot showers, and a lifeguard tower.  Parts of the building will be heated to provide restrooms for the early spring and fall seasons.  The project is designed to meet sustainable or “green” building design criteria.  Green building design elements include an energy efficient building shell to minimize heating loads, energy efficient equipment and lighting, solar hot water panels,  and a residential size 10KW Bergey wind turbine on a 100’ tower.
