    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.

    A beautiful part of RI that I had the opportunity to row up in. I feel its not as "happening" as it…read moreuse to be when the town was lively and sea wall bustling to well after midnight. It has less shops, restaurants, activities, and traffic as the past but still just as wonderful. Love walking on the sea wall and around the Pier area.

    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.
