We paddle staying to the sides to avoid the boats. All length boats are suitable. The paddle is scenic and fun ending at the mouth of the river on Narragansett Bay. WeÂ’ll stay awhile on the beach for lunch, snorkeling, and swimming. People can paddle back on their own when theyÂ’ve had enough. Arrive early to get a parking spot and avoid the boat traffic. Bring a lunch, swim gear, beach towel. Directions: Take 95 South to exit 9 (a left exit) towards Newport/S. County. Merge onto Rt. 4 South. Turn slight right onto Tower Hill Road.
