Point-Judith is a small cape and the name of a small community on Narragansett Bay on the coast of Rhode Island. The village sits on the western side of Narragansett Bay where it opens into Rhode Island Sound. Point Judith is known for being the location of the main year-round ferry service that connects Block Island to mainland Rhode Island. Point Judith also contains the fishing hamlet of Galilee. In addition to the ferry, the major attraction here is the Point Judith Light. The confluence of Narragansett Bay and Block Island Sound has historically made these waters very busy and also very dangerous and cold. Even with the lighthouse, there have been many shipwrecks off the coast over the years. Three lighthouses have been built on this site; the first in 1810 was destroyed by a hurricane in 1815. In 1816, another tower was erected, this time with a revolving light and ten lamps. The present-day granite lighthouse was built in 1856. Other towns and villages in the area include Narragansett, Saunderstown, Bonnet Shores, Narragansett Pier, Galilee, Jerusalem, Great Island, Salt Pond, and Mettatuxet. Recreational activities abound in the area, including fishing, sailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, picnicking, tennis and golf.

Point Judith Weather & Climate

Block Island's weather is classified as oceanic. It's greatly influenced by the surrounding ocean and prevailing offshore winds. Summers are warm with average highs in the upper 70s. Autumn and winter remains warmer than the mainland, due to the oceanic influences. By the same token, spring and summer remain cooler than the mainland because the ocean stays cold during this time period. Block Island lies approximately 13 miles off the coast of Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Outer Lands region, which is a coastal archipelago that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat some 22,000 years ago.
