About this city
Narragansett is a historic, exceptionally vibrant coastal resort metropolis positioned flatly along the rocky and sandy western shores of Narragansett Bay's mouth, facing the open Atlantic Ocean. Incorporated dynamically in 1901 after emerging as a high-wealth Victorian vacation enclave, the town is heavily defined by its massive stone architecture and landmark oceanfront corridors. Today, Narragansett serves globally as one of New England's absolute premier capitals for extreme windsurfing, cold-water deep-sea fishing, and elite university-driven oceanographic research.
