Dock wisdom

·

The Block Island Ferry from Point Judith is the fastest connection to the island -- 55 min, versus 2 hrs from Newport.

·

Galilee is RI's largest commercial fishing port -- buy fish right off the boats at the state pier.

·

Harbor kayak tours are calm and sheltered -- the easiest introduction to South County paddling.

·

The Point Judith Lighthouse is free to visit and a 5-min drive from the beach -- don't skip it.
