Narragansett:
Named after the proud Native American tribe, Narragansett existed for nearly two centuries as a peaceful farming and fishing community. Today, it is a charming coastal town known for its stunning beaches, rich history, and vibrant summer atmosphere. In the summer, Narragansett becomes a popular resort destination and a renowned East Coast surfing spot, thanks to the consistent southerly swells from the Atlantic Ocean. The Towers, located along Ocean Drive, is the only remaining part of a luxurious casino built in 1883. Having withstood numerous fires and fierce nor'easters, The Towers stands as the town's most enduring and iconic landmark.
In 2018, the Boston Globe named Narragansett New England's best beach town—and for good reason. It boasts a charming small-town vibe, friendly locals, and iconic landmarks like the Towers. With a wide variety of restaurants, excellent waves for surfing, stunning sunsets, and even more breathtaking sunrises, Narragansett has something for everyone. The town beach is unique, located right in the heart of town and within walking distance to the pier and local shops.
Narragansett is sure to satisfy food lovers with its diverse and lively restaurant scene, offering everything from the iconic waterfront spot, The Coast Guard House, to casual favorites like Crazy Burger and seafood classics such as Monahan's Clam Shack and Aunt Carrie's.. After enjoying a meal, you can work it off with tango lessons at the Towers, a stroll along the sea wall, a surf lesson, or a shopping trip on Boon Street.
