Otherwise, this is a quiet area offering a great location for canoeing, kayaking, and birding. Located at the end of Beach Street, this is a pleasant place to picnic, to walk on the beach, or to swim in the roped-off area in the Bay. Just behind the beach is a large grassy area shaded by tall trees, with many picnic tables, grills, playground equipment, ball fields, and a basketball court. Just across the street is the senior center and the Wickford Art Association. There is handicapped parking and bathrooms.
Access is restricted to town residents during the summer.
Three blocks down historic Main Street from Brown and West Main Streets, this municipal wharf is situated among other commercial piers. This wharf hosts both fishing and recreational boats. There is no public launching facility here. It is also a pleasant place to park and watch the activity of Wickford Harbor. The gravel ramp is usable, but is poorly maintained, and there is limited on-street parking for cars and trailers, and no other facilities.
