Roger W. Wheeler State Beach (formerly and still sometimes referred to as Sand Hill Cove) is a public recreation area covering 27 acres (11 ha) on Block Island Sound in the town of Narragansett, Rhode Island. The area offers picnicking, ocean swimming, and a playground and is open seasonally.

Point Judith is a village and a small cape, on the coast of Narragansett, Rhode Island, on the western side of Narragansett Bay where it opens out onto Rhode Island Sound. It is the location for the year-round ferry service that connects Block Island to the mainland and contains the fishing hamlet of Galilee, Rhode Island.

The Point Judith Light is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island as well as the north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. The confluence of two waterways make this area busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous. Historically, even with active lighthouses, there have been many shipwrecks off these coasts. Three light structures have been built on this site. The original 35-foot (11 m) tower, built in 1810, was destroyed by a hurricane in 1815. It was replaced in 1816, by another 35-foot stone tower with a revolving light and ten lamps. The present octagonal granite tower was built in 1856. The upper half of the tower is painted brown and the lower half white to make the light structure a more effective daymark for maritime traffic. In 1871, ship captains asked that Point Judith's fog signal be changed from a horn to whistle. This change distinguished the Point Judith light from the Beavertail Lighthouse, which used a siren to announce fog. A whistle could also be heard more distinctly over the sounds of the surf in the area. Point Judith Light was automated in 1954, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Galilee is a fishing village on Point Judith within the town of Narragansett, Rhode Island, USA, and is notable for being home to the largest fishing fleet in Rhode Island and for being the site of the Block Island Ferry. The village is directly across the harbor from Jerusalem, Rhode Island. Galilee, Rhode Island is named after the Biblical Galilee, which was the original home region of Jesus Christ, who grew up in Nazareth, a village in the Galilee region of Israel on the Sea of Galilee. Four of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Peter, James and John, were fishermen from Galilee. Today, the port of Galilee is responsible for transporting over 16 million pounds of seafood and shellfish each year. Part of the town of Narragansett, RI (population 15,868 in 2010), Galilee experiences significant seasonal population fluctuation and has been known to double in size in the summer months. As summer brings warmer weather, tourists come from all over to visit various state beaches, relax at private beach clubs, take the ferry to Block Island, and charter boats to go fishing or whale watching.

Salty Brine State Beach is a public recreation area occupying slightly more than one acre (0.40 ha) of ocean shore in the village of Galilee, town of Narragansett, Rhode Island. Established in 1954 as Galilee State Beach, it was renamed in 1990 to honor Salty Brine, a Rhode Island radio and television personality. A 2,800-square-foot (260 m2) beach pavilion and boardwalk were added to the facility in 2010. The area offers ocean swimming and saltwater fishing and is open seasonally.

Point Judith Pond is a shallow, four-mile (6 km)-long salt body of water lying behind the barrier beaches and sand dunes that form Point Judith Harbor, which lies immediately west of Point Judith in Narragansett, Rhode Island at the southwestern tip of Narragansett Bay. Located about 14 miles (23 km) southwest of Newport Harbor, Point Judith Pond forms a partial border between the communities of Narragansett and South Kingstown, and is connected to Point Judith Harbor by a narrow waterway that cuts through the beaches and sandy shoreline. This waterway is used by a large fishing fleet and local and transient recreational craft. The harbor handles a large amount of passenger traffic, primarily during the summer. Year-round ferry service is available between Point Judith and Block Island. Original work in Point Judith Harbor dates back to 1905. Work in the present project, completed in 1950 (except where noted), consists of: A 6,970-foot (2,120 m)-long main stone breakwater in Point Judith Harbor, situated about 0.5-mile (0.80 km) from shore. This breakwater, constructed roughly in a "V" shape, and the two others mentioned below were built in 1914. A 2,240-foot (680 m)-long stone breakwater extending southwesterly from Point Judith. Between the breakwaters there is a gap of about 1,200 feet (370 m), which allows boating craft to enter the harbor. A 3,640-foot (1,110 m)-long stone breakwater extending southerly from the entrance to Point Judith Pond. Between this breakwater and the main breakwater there is a gap of about 1,500 feet (460 m). A 15-foot (4.6 m)-deep channel, 150 feet (46 m) wide, that runs along the east side of the west breakwater and extends past the entrance to Point Judith Pond and the state-built jetties at the Port of Galilee. The channel ends on the west side of the pond at a point 100 feet (30 m) north of the State Pier in Jerusalem. A 15-foot (4.6 m)-deep channel, 200 feet (61 m) wide, that branches off from the aforementioned channel at a point past the state built jetties and extends up the east side of Point Judith Pond. When originally constructed in 1950, the channel ended about 100 feet (30 m) north of the State Pier in Galilee. In 1977, the channel was lengthened by 1,400 feet (430 m) and widened to dimensions varying between 150–640 feet. This most recent work was completed as a small project under Section 107 of the Continuing Authorities Program. A 10-foot (3.0 m)-deep anchorage, 5 acres (20,000 m2) in area, located on the pond's westerly side, immediately inside the pond's entrance. A 4.5-mile (7.2 km)-long channel, six feet deep and 100 feet (30 m) wide, starting at a point 100 feet (30 m) north of the State Pier in Jerusalem and running generally along the west side of the pond, ending in the Wakefield village of South Kingstown. A six-foot-deep anchorage, 5 acres (20,000 m2) in area, at the end of the 4.5-mile (7.2 km)-long channel in Wakefield.The removal of two shoals to a depth of 18 feet (5.5 m). One shoal was removed from the 10-foot (3.0 m)-deep anchorage area, and the second from the east side of the Point Judith Pond entrance. This work was completed in 1921. Various works to help trap and retain sand at the entrance to the pond.

The Anthony–Kinney Farm is a historic farm and resort complex at 505 Point Judith Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The property, now a town-owned recreation area known as Sunset Farm, saw agricultural use for over 300 years, and was converted into a private resort around the turn of the 20th century. The Point Judith area was among the first in Rhode Island to be purchased from the local Narragansett people, in 1657. The farm was acquired by James E. Anthony in 1850, who sold it to Francis Kinney in 1897. Kinney maintained much of the land in agricultural use, but built an extravagant resort complex, including a distinctive East Indian bungalow as a clubhouse, and built a private nine-hole golf course. Kinney died in 1908, and the property was owned by the Chase family until 1991, when most of it was purchased by the town. It is managed by the town as an active farm, and the restored clubhouse is available for rent as function space.The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Dunmere is a historic estate at 560 Ocean Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The estate, which originally included a 3+1⁄2-story Queen Anne/Stick style residence, gatehouse, and other buildings, was designed by John M. Merrick and was built in 1883. Dunmere was commissioned by Robert G. Dun (of Dun and Bradstreet fame) and served as his summer home until his death. It consisted of 13 acres (5.3 ha) with 500 feet (150 m) of ocean frontage. Major buildings included the main home, located close to the ocean, The Gardener's Cottage, located atop the hill, overlooking the property, the stable and the impressive stone archway, traversing Dunmere's entrance gates. In addition to a mosaic swimming pool and vast gardens, Dunmere featured a man-made pond on the waterfront. Following a massive fire at the main house, the property has since been split into three residential properties. Only the Gardener's Cottage and entrance gates remain standing today. The Gardener's Cottage, gate and garden are the principal elements of the estate that remain today. The unique entry, a rough stone masonry arch with turret and wrought iron gates, is situated slightly east of Ocean Road on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Above and to its south stands the Gardener's Cottage, a granite masonry building with Romanesque and Queen Anne features. The cottage sits high on a large stone outcropping about 150 feet from Ocean Road. Narragansett Bay is 600 feet to the east of the building. This area also includes garden terraces, fountains, an artificial lake, two gazebos, a stone-arched bridge, stone retaining walls and a shingled stable block. The estate once included a 3/4-story Eastlake and Queen Anne shingled and clapboard mansion, a large greenhouse complex, and a billiard room and bowling alley, which have since been demolished or destroyed by fire. The carriage house, now located on a separate lot, has been converted into a residence. The flower gardens on the upper terrace were laid out in a formal plan with intersecting paths and stairways to the lower terraces. A Victorian star-shaped flower bed was once located on the lower terrace, now replaced with lawn. A small ornamental stone bridge gives access to the granite ledges along the shoreline. Some of these features appear to have been added or updated after 1900, although the principal design features from the late 1880s remain, including the stone boundary walls. Remnants of the support base for an iron fishing stand used by Dun for bass fishing are present near the water's edge. A service/recreation complex of greenhouses, billiard room and bowling alley formerly stood on the north side of the garden terrace along with the carriage house and stable block, behind a stone retaining wall. This wall forms the northern boundary of the property. The large entrance gate to the estate is an elliptical, rough-cut granite arch with a small turret on the south side. On the north side of the gate, massive blocks of rough-cut, randomly coursed granite extend outward from a large natural granite outcrop to form the arch. On the opposite (south) side is a thirty-four foot tower. The uppermost level of the tower is corbeled. Above the corbeling of the tower are wooden brackets which support the rafters of the tower's conical roof. Originally, the roof was red terracotta tile, but at some unknown time these were replaced with wood shingles. Granite steps spiral around the exterior of the tower ending in a walkway across the arch to the granite ledge on the other side. Originally, the tower featured gargoyles with wrought iron lanterns hanging from their mouths. Within the wrought iron work of the large, hinged gates is the name of the estate, "Dunmere," in decorative script. The Gardener's Cottage, as it was historically known, is a complexly massed, granite masonry and wood-frame building with three major components. The original part of the building is a forty-three-foot, conical-roof tower of modified cylindrical, bottle-like form, constructed in 1883 as the estate's water tower. In 1889, a substantial dwelling for the gardener was added onto the east side of the water tower. This alteration corresponds with the expansion of the estate gardens at the same time and the relocation and reconstruction of several other estate outbuildings, including the greenhouses and carriage house. The building has compact wings covered by hip roofs, anchored by a massive, granite central chimney. The hip roof over the west wing, connecting to the water tower, has a lower pitch and originally had a flat-deck widow's walk surrounded by a balustrade. The cottage features a variety of wings, bays, towers, and decorative elements. Fourteen granite steps, carved in a shelf of exposed ledge in the 1880s, lead upward to the primary entrance to the Gardener's Cottage from the garden terraces below. At the top of this staircase is a series of cobblestone terraces. The building's towers and the main portion of the house are a mixture of rough-cut, rock-faced, pink and gray granite. All of the windows have heavy granite sills and lintels. The base of the former water tower is granite. As the tower rises, it changes from masonry to shingled wooden construction at the roof line of the attached central block of the cottage. The top of the tower had Romanesque arch openings with turned railings on the inside, below which was a double belt course of fish-scale shingles. Old photographs show the tower originally had a bell-shaped roof with a double gable balcony in the Eastlake style attached to the second story. The balcony was incorporated into the roof line of the gardener's cottage when it was built in 1889. It is not known when it was completely removed. Originally, a large, circular windmill was located on top of the tower roof to draw water from a well 180 feet below ground up to a cistern located in the second story of the tower. The water was gravity-fed from this location to the greenhouses, main house, carriage house and fountains below. The windmill was rebuilt after the 1938 hurricane, but when it was blown down again in the 1954 hurricane, it was not replaced. The asymmetrical front (south) elevation of the gardener's cottage, facing the garden, has a projecting wing with rounded corners near the center, a cylindrical tower at each end, and a large, rounded arch for the front entranceway located between the front (south) wing and water (west) tower. An oriel window above the entrance is built of rough faced granite. The base of the oriel window is also the keystone for the entrance arch. To the right of the door, within the arch, is a Romanesque double-hung window with a fleur-de-lis design. Both the rounded arch of the window and the sill are granite. On the first floor of the front wing are three pairs of triple-sash windows with Queen Anne details. Above, the second floor includes a projecting gable containing a triplet of double-hung, Queen Anne style windows, flanked by two, tiny, square, single-sash windows on each side. There is a corbel cornice along much of the roofline on this facade, and on the east tower as well. The surviving elements of the estate were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
