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
