Weather is definitely a big attraction of Narragansett. Visitors
never get bored with what the climate has to offer. The conditions
here are truly diverse the whole year long. Since Rhode Island is
part of New England we truly experience all four seasons. The
beauty and warmth of spring followed by the scorching heat of
summer, the cool temperatures and scenic colors of autumn, as well
as the frosty snow storms of winter. Narragansett gets it all.
Get around
The easiest way to access the charm of Narragansett is by foot
or bike. To get the complete seasonal experience that Narragansett
has to offer, you are invited to explore the picturesque beauty by
walking along our wonderful beaches, or riding along our scenic
waterfront roads. To help get around one might consider renting a
moped/scooter or car to be able to get around from the Narragansett
Pier area to Scarborough and Point Judith. You are also very
welcome to visit our interesting historic sites. Whether you prefer
historic lighthouses, beautiful marinas, or our striking works of
art, the choice is up to you. If staying for a long visit in
Narragansett, you may want to consider a beach pass for access to
alternate parking because the beautiful beaches attract many people
which leaves parking hard to find and expensive. Having a beach
pass would guarantee parking in reserved parking lots.
