Fishermen's Memorial State Park, State park in Narragansett, United States.
Description
Fishermen's Memorial State Park is a coastal state park in Rhode Island featuring campgrounds for tents and RVs, picnic areas, and beach access along the Atlantic shore. The grounds also include a memorial structure, walking paths, and rest areas that overlook the water.
History
Founded in 1953, the park was created to honor fishing workers who died at sea while working their trades. The memorial has since served as an important gathering place for communities to remember these losses and preserve maritime heritage.
Culture
The memorial honors the fishing communities whose work shaped life along Rhode Island's coast and remains central to local identity today. Visitors can experience this heritage directly at the site, where remembrance and nature come together.
Practical
The park offers open access to beach and picnic areas, though camping spots should be reserved beforehand. Arrive early on warm weekends, as parking and popular picnic spots fill up quickly.
Did you know?
Beyond its role as a memorial, the park serves as a nesting ground for various bird species attracted to its quiet shoreline. Bird watchers find opportunities year-round to spot migratory and native species throughout the seasons.
