The site is adjacent to the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography. In early spring, herring swim up the Narrow River from the sea past the mill and into Carr Pond to spawn. Limited on-site parking is available. There is a small fee. Located off Waldron Avenue, on Worsley Avenue, this site, also called the Hummocks, is a state management area consisting of a fringing marsh, tidal flats, and a cobble beach.
Navigation is difficult here because of the rocks close to shore.
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.
