East Passage Anchorage Area A
Drop anchor in Narragansett Bay's East Passage, one of Rhode Island's premier deepwater anchorages with a rich naval history right beneath your hull. You're sitting in the main channel of the bay here, with sweeping views of Jamestown and Newport's iconic shoreline framing you on either side. The water traffic, the bridge silhouettes, and the distant Fort Adams make this one of the more dramatic spots to spend a night on the hook in New England.
