They have two main businesses: a real fishing port, with all the support services (fish processing, shipping, boat maintenance), and the Block Island Ferry. The ferry generates a ton of tourist business. But the town is small and easily walkable. A nice occasional diversion.
Ferry Wharf fish market is amazing and delicious salt pond oysters shucked outside. Also Gorges is great ask for a blanket for your lady and the chef might be a whale
This town is so cute. A few little shops, lots of places to relax and view the water. Not a lot to do, but I can't wait to go back.
This is where you can arrange to go out on a fishing boat for the day. You can also buy fish and lobsters right off of the fishing boats. There are some shops, but they need to expand. The Block Island Ferry is here. There is ample parking for that, but there are charges involved. There is also a small beach (Salty Brine) by George's Restaurant. It's a different kind of place for Narragansett that is a very beach oriented community!
The place seemed very run down and dirty. We were supposed to spend the night but decided to find a better place up in Narragansett.
it needs better parking, and a Connor store, you can walk to the light house if you want. theirs a few little shopps, along the main street.
Very scenic fishing village! The people are very friendly, tons of fresh fish and shell fish. Loved watching the boats come and go through out the day. Great place to visit!
On your way into Galilee before you turn at the stop sign in front of the lobster place on your right is a fabulous place to go clamming!! We parked with a few other families on the main road and had a blast!
I'd you're looking for a convenient beach to Gallilee part of Narragansett this may work. Although in summer months it's always crowded. At any time of year it is a great spot to watch boats coming into port or heading out through the Harbor of Refuge.
Enjoyed numerous visits to Galilee. Nice small beach, rocks to fish from, a few excellent restaurants. Very quaint fishing village close to the house we rented for the week. Enjoyed eating at George's and Champlins. Bought whole fresh lobsters and crabs right from the docks. That was a first for us and lots of fun. Interesting talking to lobster fisherman. Some are friendly.. some not so much. We went to a Seafood Festival in town.... was disappointed no seafood to be found to try! This is where the ferry leaves for Block Island. Nice day trip.
