Narragansett offers you and your family the finest beaches on the east coast, salt and fresh water fishing and daily cruises on the Southland. A ferry boat ride to Block Island (or ride the new high speed ferry) invites you to relax on beautiful beaches, sample some of Block Island 's greatest restaurants, or rent bikes and mopeds for a day of adventure.

A must is a trip to the port of Galilee , home of charter boats, the Block Island Ferry and the Blessing of the Fleet. Galilee offers shops galore and fish markets where fresh fish and lobsters can be bought for old fashioned New England Bakes! As one of the largest ports in the area, your family can stand on the shore and watch draggers, lobster boats and pleasure boats departing and arriving all day and night. You can usually watch them unloading their catch! Also departing from the port of Galilee and nearby marinas are whale watching excursions, sure to be a day remembered long after vacation has ended.

Home to some of the finest restaurants in Rhode Island, Narragansett dining offers famous clam cakes, chowders and shore dinners, and of course the freshest fish. Why not enjoy a great meal after spending a day at the annual Narragansett Art Festival, the Antique Car Show, or the spectacular WaterFire Providence?

There is plenty to do for the youngest set: miniature golf, movies, roller skating, surfing, fishing , swimming or a great sailing adventure.

Narragansett is only minutes away from Newport , "City by the Sea", with all its historic sites; as well as the quaint village of Wickford , home of the Wickford Art Show.

So, whether you are interested in recreation, day tripping, playing golf at any of the nearby courses, or just relaxing, Narragansett has it all!
