Start with lunch at The Coast Guard House. The deck overlooks the Atlantic, offering a perfect spot to watch the waves while you eat. Check the hours to ensure they are open for your chosen day, as Sunday service splits between lunch and dinner.

Walk down to Narragansett Town Beach. It is a family-friendly stretch of sand. If you do not have a parking pass, you can pay the daily fee to walk on. Note that this beach can become extremely crowded, so arriving early helps secure a quieter spot.

Nana's Ice Cream & Gelato Café
Walk across the street to Nana's Ice Cream & Gelato Café. Established in 1985, they serve 30 flavors of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and 16 flavors of Italian gelato. It is a convenient treat right after your beach time.

Pier Picture Fine Art and Framing
End your walk at Pier Picture Fine Art and Framing. Located just a short distance from the beach area, it offers a quiet moment to browse local art and framing services before heading home.
