Make a Stop in Galilee
After you’ve settled into your accommodations, visit the Galilee area for some tourist fun. Named after the biblical town of Galilee by a Nova Scotian fisherman, this fishing village is home to the largest fishing fleet in Rhode Island. Go on a sportsfishing cruise with Captain Kelly on the C-Devil II and maybe you’ll catch some cod or tuna for dinner. If fishing is not your thing, visit the Point Judith Lighthouse for a quick photo op, then head to the docks to check out the array of seafood on sale.
Take Advantage of the Outdoors
Narraganset beach is a picturesque beach with soft sand, a flat landscape, and amazing waves —just right for surfing, so be sure to pack your surfboard. Entry costs $10 per day. For some saltwater bathing, visit Scarborough State Beach. Also known for its scenic boardwalks, this popular spot is perfect for sunbathing or a picnic with your fellow travelers.
If you’d prefer a land-locked activity, visit the Fishermen’s Memorial State Park and Campground. Its seaside village atmosphere is perfect for a long walk between the trees, or a quiet picnic. You can also play tennis or basketball in the park. Outdoor enthusiasts can pitch a tent and enjoy the serene atmosphere through the night.
