Beating the heat: Free beach parking, library movies

Is it even possible to beat this heat?

You could join the masses at the state beaches, sitting under umbrellas and spending lots of time in the water as the sun beats down on you.

State beaches are free again today – the third day in a row, at Governor Carcieri’s order because of the current heat wave.

Before you head out to your favorite beach, though, make sure it’s open by checking the Department of Health’s beach closures page, where officials keep us posted on any health-related closures.

Or, you could try for those air-conditioned places, such as community and senior centers, libraries, movie theaters and restaurants.

Check the list of "cooling centers" around the state, for public places suggested as a source of heat relief.

The Providence Public Library will show free family movies and offer another children’s story time for the second day in a row at its air-conditioned central location, 150 Empire St.
