Bluff Point State Park is beautiful. The trail has mostly ocean views. The kids love to try to dip their feet in the water no matter the season.  Although it was a mostly chilly and windy day when we went here, it was still spectacular. We saw many families out with their kids, leashed dogs, bike riders, joggers and although we did not see any horses, we saw signs of their presence ( if you know what I mean 😉). There are several signs saying where the horses are and aren’t permitted. Besides this, the views of the coast were stunning. There is actual beach access during this hike. The beach seems to have a ton of shells. We couldn’t believe how many half, intact scallop shells we found. They are not so common at the beaches we normally frequent.

 

The Skinny:

• Weather :  A  nice dry day ideally because it is an outdoor location
• Parking and Admissions : FREE parking 
• Location : There are lots of trails here for hikers, joggers, horseback riders and mountain bikers along with a beach and a partially wooded trail.  The main loop is 3.6 miles.  There is also salt water fishing and shell fishing, as well as a boat launch.
• Hours : 7AM-7pm everyday
• Duration : We spent an hour and a half here
• Tips and Recommendations : dog-friendly,  walkways

If Bluff Point State Park was fun for you, be sure to check out Rhode Island’s Fort Barton and Beaver Tail both in Rhode Island where you can hike in the woods but are able to see the beautiful coastline too!
