Stay

Town Beach before the sea breeze

Pace

Beach and harbor

Town Beach and the Towers fill the north half of the weekend; Point Judith and Galilee give the south half a fishing-port character.

Friday

Walk Ocean Road from the Towers before dinner.

Check in near the beach, cross the Towers arch, and follow the sea wall before an Ocean Road dinner. Friday belongs to the compact town center, not the car.
