The deck at the Coast Guard House (40 Ocean Road, Narragansett) is as close as you can get to dining on the water without chartering a boat. Bring a jacket because it's often breezy near the ocean, and kick back and enjoy cocktails made with local spirits. Great dining local favorite

Aunt Carrie's (1240 Ocean Road, Narragansett) has been owned by the same family since 1920​ when Carrie and Ulysses Cooper decided they needed a permanent stand where they could meet the demands of campers and fishermen for her chowder and clam cakes. A fourth generation still uses Carrie's corn fritter recipe as the basis for these famous clam cakes, which you can savor indoors or out.

Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri helped put Crazy Burger (144 Boon Street, Narragansett) on the map, and travelers are crazy about the eclectic menu at this compact eatery, too. How often do you find vegan options at a burger joint? Or breakfast selections available until 4 p.m.? You won't go wrong with a Whassupy Burger and basil lime lemonade. Crazy Burger also serves dinner, which means you'll actually be tempted to dine here three times a day.

The Narragansett Town Beach is a gem, with soft sand, views of The Towers, and vigorous waves perfect for surfing or boogie boarding. Restaurants are within walking distance, and the daily non-resident fee is a small price to pay for access to a beach that evokes all of the Rhode Island shore's beauty and history.
