sorry frapjap, I didn't see your reply. Surrounding area like what. Mystic is kinda far for "surrounding Area". I replied in one of your other threads, but I suggested Little Compton. In Narragansett, from points North, from Route 1, you'll come to a big intersection. A Mobil will be there, and I think they were putting in a mini mall when I left (will be on your right). There will be a big log tower on your left. Make that Left (Bridgetown Rd I THINK). Climb that bigass log tower (free). It's got a pretty good view. If you go down Bridgetown Road, you will eventually go back up until you link up with Scenic Route 1A (Boston Neck Road). Take a right there. There will be a Brook's and Dunkin Donuts on your left. My father's bike shop will also be on the left. Keep going down this road until you see Brickley's Ice Cream (on left). Get a cone, its fantastic. Continue going down the road, its veeerrrry beautiful in the summer. There is a bridge called "Sprague Bridge" and you will get some of the most amazing pictures at sunset. keep going until you get to the beach and see a gazebo and a big twin spire castle/tower type looking thing. Take that left and continue to follow the ocean. If you keep going all the way down that road for quite a while, you should get to a lighthouse somewhere. Thats pretty much the nice part of Naragansett right there. From the lighthouse you can take route 108 (I think) back. When you hit a water tower you will see an incredibly long straight road. This is known as "the escape road" to the locals, and is generally where races and top speed runs are made. If you go down that you can get to the Block Island Ferry's and stuff. Block Island is pretty nice if you've never been there. Christopher Walkin lives there.
If you like seafood swing by Cap'n Jack's. I worked there for 6 years and we won best Fish n Chips and best Lobster Roll more times than I can count. Thats really all I can think of right now man, I haven't been there in a pretty long time.
srpowered:Your shots are amazing and look like they are straight out of the goonies.
Theres me and my car at Capn Jacks last year before I left.
Theres pictures from the roof of my parent's house when I went home for Christmas. That was right before we tore it up and re-roofed it.
yeah... the Narragansett Bikes truck Those are all from the family beach house in Little Compton. Normally there isn't that much sea weed on the beach though.
