Mackerel Cove
Mackerel Cove, tucked along the west side of Conanicut Island in Jamestown, is a sheltered anchorage well protected from Narragansett Bay's currents, making it a calm and relaxed spot to drop the hook. The fine sandy beach and gentle shoreline give the place an unhurried, laid-back feel that's hard to beat. Nearby Beavertail State Park is worth a wander if you head ashore by dinghy.
