Conimicut Point Park

windy and fun! I think its significance lies in its geographic location: the border of river and sea. So you can see different tides colliding on the sandbars here. I am okay with the no swimming stuff cuz who wants to swim in a river mouth! the tides and undertow could be way dangerous. However I hope someone will arrange the messy sands all over the places (esp the «parking lot area»

This beach could use a few good community clean up days. Unfortunately the way the tides pull the current down on this point makes it gather trash pretty quickly. Besides that this area doesn’t offer much besides an ok view.

A great park here in warwick by Narragansett bay. Don’t head out to the lighthouse during low tide. Their is a wedding chapel down the road that it popular.

Conimicut Point is a breezy bay side beach and park area with some grass and benches. It’s not a swimming beach, its more of a fishing area. In fact, the fishermen park right on the beach and pretty much dominate, so forget about swimming. If you find yourself in this area and just want to explore the shoreline and enjoy the landscape, it’s A-​Ok. Along the Providence River side you can walk along the beach and check out the waterfront homes in the neighborhood. Or park your truck on the beach and drink a beer and watch the «fishing action.»
The other reviewers are correct about the cleanliness of the property. It would be nice if the denizens would take their empty beer cans and other debris with them when they leave, but they don’t. Check it out the first sunny weekend after the annual clean up.
For me, there’s no way this park could ever be more than average, since there are so many other park and beach options in Rhode Island. I can get to Blue Beach in North Kingstown on 403 faster than I can get across Warwick to Conimicut, and its a clean beach with a nice view and no trashy element. Oakland Beach, enjoy seafood and cocktails and socialize with the tourists. Sandy Point, a clean quiet neighborhood beach on a peninsula, which is just down the road from Goddard Park and its beach, trails, fishing, ball fields, and golf course.
If you’re in the eastern reaches of Olde Warwick, Conimicut Point Park is not bad.

A small, but nice park with great views of the lighthouse and Providence. It’s good for a picnic or some sports, but I wouldn’t swim here. The frozen lemonade truck is there all summer.

from another review: «his place has signs up saying „polluted“. It already looks filthy to begin with» yep 100% you see a bunch of people fishing with nets/​baskets all the time, they think they own the place, people with dogs (not too great for kids) one side has lifeguards they other side does not, (not signs out side about the little detail) if you want to walk and see the sunset it is a nice scenery if you are looking for a place to swim, its a no-​go

Ummmm this place has signs up saying «polluted». It already looks filthy to begin with. I don’t think this is a place i’d really wanna go to in the summer. Do people swim here? I don’t know… I visited it in February to see the lighthouses. You can see Conimicut Lighthouse right in front of you in the water, you can walk out on the sandbar to get closer. Nayatt Point Lighthouse is right across from that on the other side of the bay.

great park

I love Conimicut for one reason — strolling on the «beach», looking for sea glass.
Swimming — no, not even if it was allowed that day. Beach has a great deal of kelp, dead sea life, glass (not the good kind yet!) and other flotsam. It can smell pretty bad down by the water.
I do see a fair number of people fishing and clamming/​oysters? Not my thing, so I can’t tell you if it’s worth it or not.
There are pretty views of the lighthouse and across the bay, but this is a small park and not worth a special trip just for that.

Great views. Good fishing and playground. Maybe its a local thing but o views of a lighthouse with free parking and lots of people enjoying their families is a great experience. Those who are looking for a perfectly manicured spot should head to a bigger beach.
The previous poster McKenzie would love Newburyport, MA if she hasnt been…

I was very excited to check out this beach because of its proximity to Providence, but even on the hottest day of the summer, I didn’t chance going swimming here. The beach was covered with dried and smelly kelp, there was no current in the water, and half of the beach was deemed unswimmable because of pollutants — you think I’m going to swim in the water 5 feet from that sign? I don’t think so.
Outside of the beach area, there is some green space to throw a ball around or relax, but when I was there the grass was all yellowed and brittle. Additionally the bathrooms were gross.
Overall. Brian’s pics look beautiful and I wish that is what I saw when I was there… but I couldn’t get past the smell and feel of the place.
Oh, there was a lifeguard on duty, so that’s a plus.

A beach
with
a
lighthouse
A pleasant little park with some pretty nice views. Swimming is allowed, but the beach sometimes is closed because of nasties coming down from Providence. Plenty of parking and a nice launch place for a kayak or small craft. The park is not very large, so it is not really suitable for hiking but a short walk along the beach is always nice.
Great views of Conimicut lighthouse, built in 1883 are obvious and you can actually walk out to the light about one half mile off shore in low tide. However unpredictable currents and rips can make this unwise unless you happen to enjoy drowning. Nyatt lighthouse is also visible across the bay and views of Mt Hope bridge can be seen to the south and Providence to the north.
