don’t use the left side unless you got a 4×4 because it gets sandy at low tide

To see the sea Oakland Beach launch is a nice site that gives you access to several bodies of water. Depending on your mood and desire you can go north up Warwick Cove, over to Brush Cove, west into Greenwich Cove, or around Warwick Point and out into Narragansett Bay. The site has parking for at least 50 or so cars and trailers but does get filled up pretty quickly in the summer. There are two paved ramps that hold some fairly large boats without trouble and enough water so you won’t rip the bottom of your hull out. It’s an exceptionally nice place to launch a kayak or canoe because there is a sandy beach to the side of the paved ramps so you can get out of the way of trailers and the larger boats. It’s a safe place to leave your vehicle and I haven’t heard of many crimes around the launch, probably because of the large volume of people in the area. Once in the water a yak can go up Warwick Cove for a nice quiet and relaxing paddle or out into Greenwich or Narragansett Bay for more excitement. There usually is a strong south blow in the summer, especially in the afternoon, so the bays can get pretty feisty quite quickly. If you like lighthouses, you can get a great view of Warwick Lighthouse located on Warwick Point. This is also a great place to launch if you want to paddle out to Patience or Prudence islands. Only a couple of miles but just remember once the afternoon wind picks up the trip back can be a lot more exciting the the trip out there. Assuming you make it back alive, there are several nice seafood restaurants over in Oakland Beach where you can pig out and relax after your adventure.
