About Narragansett
Narragansett is a picturesque coastal town in Washington County, southern Rhode Island, situated at the entrance to Narragansett Bay where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. The town occupies a narrow strip of land along the eastern bank of the Pettaquamscutt River (also known as the Narrow River) to the shore, forming a scenic peninsula bordered by the river to the west, Narragansett Bay to the east and north, and Point Judith Pond to the south.
This prime location, just 30 miles (48 km) south of Providence and near the villages of Narragansett Pier, Galilee, and Jerusalem, offers over 19 miles (31 km) of shoreline blending pristine beaches, rocky cliffs, historic sites, and vibrant fishing communities in a classic New England setting.
