Things To DoThings To Do
Narragansett BeachNarragansett Beach
A beach walk, quick surf, or full on swim. Park in the lot or along the wall and be sure to check out the iconic Narragansett Towers while you are there.
Beavertail State ParkBeavertail State Park
A bit of a drive if you are staying in South Kingstown/ Narragansett, but Jamestown is worth it. Venture to the very tip of the island until you get to Beavertail State Park and the Beavertail Lighthouse. Bring a chair, blanket, or some hiking shoes. Pack a jacket, it is windy! Best part? On Monday, October 12th the tower is open for climbing from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM. This only happens a few times a year — highly recommend!
Fort Wetherill State ParkFort Wetherill State Park
While you are in Jamestown, don't go far! Drive over to Fort Wetherill to explore the graffiti abandoned forts and check out Moonrise Kingdom beach—for fans of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom (2012), you will know the spot. Parking available throughout the park.
Black Point TrailheadBlack Point Trailhead
A scenic hike, a little rocky, with incredible views. Find remnants of a 100-year-old carriage house with stone walls. Great photo-op!
Newport MansionsNewport Mansions
There's no place like Newport. I may be biased...but the Newport Mansions are worth the drive over the two bridges. Not sure what mansion to tour? Here are my suggestions: - The Elms with lunch in the Carriage House - Marble House with Afternoon Tea in the Chinese Tea House - The Breakers and a quick walk on Cliff Walk Free parking is available at all Newport Mansion properties.
