    A memorial to the lost A place that everybody goes by but few people ever stop at. Not to be confused with Fisherman's Memorial State Park, this is a monument to the lost ships and men of Point Judith. It's a two story tower sort of thing. Obvious to anyone going down to the point but few people actually know exactly what it is. On the bottom floor are two plaques, one with the names of the Point Judith men lost at sea from 1947-1997 and the other with the names of the ships. Nothing extravagant or extreme, just two small plaques. Quite sobering. On the top floor is a platform where you can look around and see great views in all directions. On clear days you can make out Block Island and beyond. Not much here and not really worth going out of your way to see but if you are ever going down to Point Judith, it's worth a visit. Point Judith isn't just a place to catch the Block Island Ferry and pig out on seafood but it is still very much an active fishing town. Next time you are munching down your fish, remember that people still catch those things from small boats and people still die doing it. A memorial to the lost

    The beauty and quiet solemnity of this place is a very moving tribute to those who have lost their lives at sea. The 270 degree panorama inspires one to reflect, not only on natures wonder, but it's many hidden dangers as well.

The lighthouse museum was open as was their little one room aquarium. We picniced in the lawn and as with all State parks it's "carry-in, carry out" so be sure you bring your own trash bags. Same for your pup. Furry friends are welcime as long as you carry their droppings out. Four parking areas are available at no cost. A number of trails dot the area. Most of the area is uneven grass and dirt paths although there are handicapped spots closest to the lighthouse and a paved path leading in that direction. The lighthouse museum is not wheel chair accessible. Composting toilet buildings are located in a field between parking and lighthouse. These are water free and have hand sanitizer available. If you are a forager this location may interest you. Be sure you have a license to enjoy fishing off the rocks.

    We visited the lighthouse and grounds on an overcast morning prior to the 10:30AM opening of both…read morethe museum/gift shop and aquarium. We found ample free parking in the first of the four lots. The lighthouse is beautiful situated overlooking the entrance to Narragansett Bay so a return visit in the fall on a bright sunshiny day will likely be included in our itinerary.

    Narragansett is a town in Washington County, locally known as South County. The population was…read more14,532 at the 2020 census. However, during the summer months the town's population more than doubles to near 34,000. Narragansett is known for its summer recreation and beaches. Fishermen's Memorial State Park, located near Galilee, contains a former military fort (Fort Greene) and a campground. Three beaches in Narragansett that are most famous are: -Narragansett Town Beach is located in the center of Narragansett, though it charges a fee--whereas other local (state funded) beaches charge for parking only. -Scarborough State Beach: The Scarborough Beach Complex comprises two separate areas, the North and South. Each has a pavilion, showers, 75 picnic tables, boardwalk and observation tower. There is a small fee for parking if a spot on nearby streets can not be found. -Roger Wheeler State Beach and Salty Brine State Beach are both located in Point Judith, which is the southernmost point of Narragansett. Both beaches are protected by the breakwater that protects the port of Galilee. The town of Narragansett occupies a narrow strip of land running along the eastern bank of the Pettaquamscutt River to the shore of Narragansett Bay. The setting is really beautiful and if you are not into going to the beach, there's a beautiful sea wall that surrounds most of the beach area and it's the perfect setting for a nice stroll by the ocean. There's a small strip mall located about two blocks from the beach with some parking and a few shopping options and a few restaurants that cater anything from burgers and sandwiches to fine white cloth linen dining. One of the main landmarks is called "The Towers". The Towers is a historic structure located at 35 Ocean Road in Narragansett. It is the only remnant of the Narragansett Pier Casino built in the 1880s. On November 25, 1969, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In Rhode Island, people from South County joke about having to drive "north of the towers" as meaning leaving their comfortable beachy setting ... to drive to Providence, Warwick, Newport, etc.

However anyone can come and enjoy the fantastic views and experience the power of the ocean. I'm not sure of all the exact details but I believe the land was left available to the public in honor of Rose Nulman who passed away in 1993. There is a parking lot and little memorial plaque honoring Rose and some signs saying be respectful of the land. A building is in the park but it is not open to the public. No bathrooms or much else, just a few benches and the great views of the ocean and Point Judith lighthouse. Not a good place to swim because of the rocks and nasty rips but because of the big waves surfers frequent this great place. I especially like to visit in the winter during snowstorms and very windy conditions. No other people around, just the fury and power of the wind, waves and ocean. An unusual place, certainly not a typical park but it's great when private property around Rhode Island is opened to the public. From what I have observed, visitors are respectful. No graffiti, trash or people doing stupid things. Just folks appreciating the wild, pristine ocean. The Nulman family should get a big thank you from everyone who visits this wonderful spot.
