About Rocky Point State Park

For more than a century this headland was Rocky Point Amusement Park. The rides closed in 1995 and the shore reopened to the public as a state park in 2011. Its position near Providence and the shipping lanes of Narragansett Bay keeps glass coming ashore.

Sea glass at Rocky Point State Park

Whites, greens and ambers, with aqua, sea-foam and the odd lavender. The easy pickings have gone, so come after a storm and take your time.

Visiting Rocky Point State Park

Safety
Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
