Fishing Spots of Galilee Rhode Island
These spots are great for fishing, sightseeing or just
relaxing.
-
The Breach-way
Located at the center of Galilee, the breachway is the
best place to sit and enjoy the boats coming and going from
the Port of Galilee and the Point Judith Pond. It's a
popular place for an early morning cup of coffee, and a
great place for a picnic lunch or dinner. There are lots of
places nearby that offer take-out food that will taste even
better on the rocks.
-
Point Judith Light
Located at the end of Ocean Drive, the Point Judith Light
is on the National Register of Historic Places. The
"Great Gale" of 1815 destroyed the wooden
lighthouse originally built on this spot in 1806. It was
replaced with the octagonal brick lighthouse that stands on
the site today. Visitors are welcome on the grounds from
9:00 to 4:00. Next to the lighthouse is Rose Nullman Park -
a beautiful scenic overlook with wonderful views of the
Rhode Island Sound.
-
Camp Cronin
A bumpy ride down a dirt road near the Point Judith Light
on Ocean Drive brings you to Camp Cronin. Located at the
foot of one of the break-walls that form the Harbor of
Refuge, this is a popular fishing spot. Even if you don't
fish, you can walk out on the rocks and enjoy the view.
-
Black Point
Located on Ocean Drive near Scarborough State Beach,
Black Point offers tremendous views of Rhode Island's rocky
coast. Black Point is a short walk down a peaceful path
though a small area of woods. To the north, you can see the
outline of Beavertail on Jamestown, Brenton Point in Newport
and the Newport Bridge. To the south is the Point Judith
Light. Out to the horizon is the Rhode Island Sound.
-
Bluff Hill Cove Marsh
Along the Escape Road next to Fisherman's Memorial State
Park is Bluff Hill Cove Marsh - a tidal inlet that is part
of Point Judith Pond. During low tide, it is a popular spot
for clamming. Across the road, in between the Escape Road
and the Roger Wheeler State Beach is the recently restored
Galilee Bird Sanctuary.
