The Newport Daily News reports the figures for Easton's Beach in Newport and Sachuest and Third beaches in Middletown surpassed previous marks.
Easton's Beach took in nearly $540,000, exceeding last summer's record by more than $22,000.
Middletown Town Council President Robert Sylvia says Sachuest and Third beaches brought in almost $1,450,000 combined this summer, shattering the record set in 2012.
Newport Beach Manager Erik Reis says this summer has been one of the best beach seasons he can remember, despite a slow start.
Reis says there are several ideas in the works for 2016, including a pilot location for a faster water-testing program.
