Prepare in Narragansett in the Winter
This itinerary prepares you for a trip during the winter months. While Narragansett in the summertime is great for shorts, tank tops or t-shirts, and bathing suits, you are going to want to pack warmer clothing for the winter weather. Pants, sweaters, sweatshirts, and jackets are all necessities. In addition to this, the wind can be bitter as the area is so close to the water, so gloves, hats, and scarves are recommended for those chilly days. Rain coats may also be a key item, in case you run into any stormy weather.
Since it is not the prime months for the area, be aware that a lot of establishments run on winter hours. To be sure that you will not run into a closed store or restaurant, call ahead to ask for hours of operation. Some places known to Rhode Island, such as Del’s Lemonade, are shut down for the season during the winter months. Some gift shops in Narragansett may sell ‘make-your-own-Del’s’ in a $9.99 container, and it is worth the taste, but be prepared that you will have to come some time between late March and early September to experience a real Del’s lemonade. Brickley’s Ice Cream, a popular ice cream restaurant known for its homemade ice cream, and lines out the door from the March until September, is also closed during the winter months.
