Apponagansett Bay
Apponagansett Bay sits about four miles southwest of New Bedford, tucked into the southern Massachusetts coast with Newport, RI just 20 miles to the southwest. You can drop anchor here and explore the shoreline, where Apponagansett Park offers a sandy beach, picnic area, and a playground — a great excuse to go ashore. The bay has been a hub of trade and fishing since the earliest colonial settlements, giving it a rich maritime history that still feels present today.
