A town for those who love the outdoors
Attached to the southwestern coast of Massachusetts and jutting out into Narragansett Bay, the outline of Barrington reminds some of Italy. With a little imagination, Adams Point resembles the heel of a boot, Rumstick Point is the toe, and the areas north become the upper portion. And while Barrington might not be able to compete with the likes of the Roman Empire or the Renaissance, the town has a rich history of its own, not to mention plenty of amenities to keep residents entertained. “People in Barrington love to get outdoors,” says Realtor Elizabeth Kirk, who has represented real estate transactions in the area for more than a decade. Opportunities for outdoor recreation abound here, as do local shopping and dining establishments. This peaceful Rhode Island town has evolved from a 19th-century brick manufacturing center into a modern-day suburb that offers easy highway access for commuters and plenty of creature comforts nearby. Plus, it’s all a lot closer than Italy.

Outdoor recreation on land or sea
Rhode Island might be called the Ocean State, but Barrington is a town defined by rivers. The western edge is bordered by the Providence River, the eastern edge is bordered by the Palmer River and the town itself is divided in half by the Runnins River. At Rumstick Point at the southernmost part of Barrington, the rivers converge and empty into Narragansett Bay. All of that water means plenty of fun on it. Activities include lounging on the sand or swimming in the waters off Barrington Beach, fishing in a pond or setting out on the deep blue sea from a nearby marina.
Several parks provide land-based recreation. Haines Memorial State Park is one of the most popular in the area, with a pond for fishing or kayaking, a dedicated dog park and hiking trails. At Veterans Memorial Park, anglers can fish from the bank or from a kayak. This park is also home to the Barrington Skatepark. Nature lovers can hike the Osamequin Nature Trails and witness superb views of Hundred Acre Cove, including the chance to catch sight of a rare diamondback terrapin, a species of turtle whose only known nesting spot in the state is in this cove.
The East Bay Bike Path extends from Providence to Bristol, covering a distance of over 14 miles, about 4 of which run through Barrington. This cycling amenity is part of the larger East Coast Greenway, a system of trails that extends from Key West to Maine's Canadian border. Rhode Island Country Club, located in the southwest corner of Barrington, has hosted multiple USGA Championships. While spectator golf events here are open to the public, membership in the club is by invitation only.
