Narragansett
Shopping & Things To Do
As a year-round resident of Westerly, your main shopping areas (outside of small business or boutique places) are the Westerly Crossings Shopping Center and Franklin Shopping Plaza. Both are conveniently located on Route 1 near the junction of Route 78.
You can spend all day here and find everything you need: grocery, retail clothing, banks, fitness stores, vision care, etc. Salt Pond is by far the biggest shopping plaza in Narragansett and the “go-to” place for all of your essentials (tends to be very busy!) Dedicated shoppers drive here to visit some the largest Marshalls and HomeGoods stores in the state.
This beachside center of town is the best spot for walkability shopping. Check out the local shops and restaurants, walk along Narragansett Town Beach, or visit the Towers and Memorial Square.
Recreation & Activities
The state and public beaches in Narragansett are some of the best you’ll find in Rhode Island (and perhaps the entire North East).
Separates Narragansett from South Kingstown and open for public swimming, kayaking, and fishing.
These beaches extend along the same beachfront in Galilee. Both are popular for families with young children, due to the extensive breakwater barrier protecting them and gentle surf. Both beaches are located in the Point Judith section of Narragansett, which is the southernmost part of town.
Located right in the center of town near shops and restaurants. Ample parking spaces along 1A and Ocean Road. Residents of Gansett can park and enjoy the beach free of charge, but non-residents must pay a “walk on free” to visit.

There is a north and south side of the Scarborough, each with a pavillion, showers, observation towers, and a boardwalk for public use.
