Watch Hill bird sanctuary.
Reviewed By Davidcarmytraveler - Coventry, United States
We came for Memorial Day and got there about 10:30. Thankfully it wasn’t very crowded. You pass the watch hill yacht club and walk over the dunes and drop down on to this beautiful beach. It goes way out into the water and has beach on both sides. There are great views of the watch hill light house and all the boats. It’s the only place we have been that you can play on the dunes. There isn’t much public parking so go early. 2 hours free on the street and 2 hours free in the shopping parking lot; or spend 20-30 dollars for all day in the paid lot. This is a must visit beach in RI, off season or now during covid is probably the best time to go.

Long flat beach, ideal for surfing.
Reviewed By T3482MMsamanthac - Greenwich, United States
So we just got got back from our trip. We spend 2 days on Narragansett town beach. I was worried about parking, you can't park in the beach parking lots this year (residents only) but both days I found free street parking pretty easily. It's a 2 hr slot, but this ends at 4. We got there at 2 on one day and stayed until 5 and another day got there at 3. I think going later may help find parking. It was a short walk to the beach from the parking. On the beach my son decided he wanted to rent a boogie board and there was a tent in the parking lot where you can rent surf or boogie boards so we did that. The next day he got a surf lesson, it was 60 for an hr. He loved it. When I called they said they were full. But when we arrived at the beach they said come back in an hour to see us and he can have a lesson. A short drive down from this beach is Monahan's Clam Shack. Order online and pick up or go and sit outside. Great food.

This place is prime for any ocean view venue in the heart of Narragansett. We came in December for the Christmas cocktail caberet and it was elegant and perfect

Named for the developer of the state life-saving system, this beach features a new bathhouse and playground.
Reviewed By Homerpigeon1 - Narragansett, United States
Have taken my kids and grandchildren here many times. Extensive beach protected by breakwater so no fear of child being “swept away.” Teenagers and college students shun this beach so you won’t be bothered by the posturing. Swings and slides available. Good beach to acquaint toddlers to ocean. There is a charge but a good day for children.
8. Casey Farm
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
This mid-eighteenth century homestead overlooking Narragansett Bay was the center of a plantation that produced food for local and foreign markets. Casey Farm was the location for a skirmish with the British that left its mark on the farmhouse. Starting in the mid-nineteenth century, the Casey family began to improve the farm and lease it to tenant farmers. In 1955, they donated their ancestral home to Historic New England. Today, farm managers raise organically grown produce for a Community Supported Agriculture program. A weekly Saturday morning farmers' market from May to October offers products from other local farms and artisans. The site provides a perfect setting for educational programs, including field trips and summer camps. Guided tours between June 1 and October 15 include the farmyard and cemetery, where six generations of Caseys are buried.

Hi! It’s well worth a visit anytime. Stay at the 1669. There is a ferry from Newport, New London and another from Galilee in the summer and the one in Galilee runs all year. Took forever before they had their first case of COVID 19 and it’s basically non-existent there. It’s just under an hour by ferry. Definitely rent a bike or bring your own. From where the ferry lets you off you can pedal round the rolling hills either on the eastern side past the Southeast light or up the western side to the North lighthouse. Lots of great hikes. If you just want to relax and see the major scenic points of interest there are cheap tours by local characters in beat up limos who will also fill you in on the smuggling and houses of ill repute that flourished there during Prohibition. They should know since their families have been there forever if you check out the your tour guides names on some old gravestones in the only cemetery on the Island that overlooks both Old and New Harbor. Have fun!!

Today was a really nice day where I wanted to just walk a bit and relax. We were able to walk the nice paths and get to view the ocean from the high point. We were able to see different tree's and flora and it is not a hard walk in any way. We saw some new birds and the view from the top was really nice this time of year. It is better now as the leaves are not on the tree's and so you can see much further. Just a nice place to walk and relax.ok to bring your dog if on a leash.
