Where is RI's best beach? Cast your vote as we're down to the final four

If Wednesday is any indication, Rhode Islanders love their beaches.

State and town beaches reached capacity. Traffic backed for miles as people looked to beat the heat as temperatures soared into the 90s.

We also know everyone has their favorites.

All four of our second round matchups were blowouts with margins ranging from 18 percentage points to 64 percentage points.

Now, as we enter the final four in The Providence Journal's Best Beach bracket contest we have a pair of interesting matchups that pit a state beach against a town beach.

Voting is now open to determine who will head to the finals. Cast your choice until Monday at 8 a.m.
