Barrington

Visiting boaters can choose between 2 very different places to stay in Barrington: Bullock Cove, a cozy, well-protected harbor off the Providence River, and the Warren River. Bullock Cove, located some 4 miles south of Providence, is home to 3 marinas: Brewer Cove Haven Marina, Bullock Cove Marine and Lighthouse Marina. It’s also the site of what is perhaps the best launch ramp on Narragansett Bay—Haines Park, which offers excellent protection from the wind and ready access to the Upper Bay on all tides, along with a courtesy float, picnic facilities and ample parking. Haines Memorial State Park is the site of a weekly farmers market, as well as a good spot to picnic or pick up the East Bay Bike Path, which runs for 14 miles, from East Providence to Bristol. Bullock Cove has 1 free guest mooring, but not much room to anchor. The mean low-water depth is 3′ to 6′ (in the lower basin), with 6′ of depth in the main channel.
