Napatree Point

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.

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

Casey Farm

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.

I love this quaint little village. It’s the perfect place in Rhode Island. There’s a harbor, yummy restaurants, cute shops, and lovely historic homes. The rune stone that’s believed to be inscribed by Vikings is there. Mostly I just love hanging out here.

Wickford Harbor

Reviewed By Decaf7

Wickford Harbor is a hidden gem as is the Village. Just recently sat on a bench overlooking the harbor and witnessed a beautiful sunset. Love the fact that it is rarely crowded. Plenty of parking in the municipal lot right in the center of town; harbor is right there with plenty of benches. Get yourself a cup of coffee and take in all the beauty that is there for the taking. Harbor is great for kayaking, too. Enjoy!

Kettle Pond Visitor Center

Reviewed By barryn680 - Coventry, United States

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.
