Spring is in full swing, and there’s no better time to explore all that Warwick, Rhode Island, has to offer. Whether you're planning an Easter weekend or simply looking for fun spring activities, our coastal city offers something for everyone. From kayaking and biking to outdoor dining and local festivals, here’s how to make the most of your getaway.
Kayak, Canoe or Boat Along Warwick’s Waterways
One of the best ways to enjoy Warwick in the spring is from the water. Paddle along the scenic Pawtuxet River or explore the calm waters of Apponaug Cove. Oakland Beach, Warwick City Park, and Goddard Memorial State Park also offer great access points for launching kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards—with Goddard Park even featuring a convenient boat ramp.
For boating enthusiasts, Warwick’s marinas and boat slips provide easy access to Narragansett Bay. Whether you're heading out for some deep-sea fishing or enjoying a peaceful sunset cruise, Warwick’s waterways are the perfect way to embrace the season.
Birdwatching & Outdoor Fun at Goddard Memorial State Park
With its wooded trails, coastal views and open green spaces, Goddard Memorial State Park is a true springtime gem. It's especially popular with birdwatchers—spring migration brings a wide variety of species to the area, from warblers and orioles to osprey and herons.
Nearby, the saltmarsh of Mary’s Creek also offers prime birdwatching opportunities, and a walk through the lovely Dawley Forest is a peaceful way to enjoy the season. Don’t forget your binoculars!
Dine Outdoors
As the days grow warmer, local restaurants open up patios and waterfront decks for al fresco dining.
Enjoy fresh seafood, craft cocktails and seasonal menus at local favorites like Chelo’s Waterfront Bar & Grille, Captain’s Resto-Bar, Iggy’s Boardwalk: Lobster & Clam Bar, and Crow’s Nest Fish House & Oyster Bar. Or, pair a cold pint with scenic Pawtuxet River views at Apponaug Brewing Company.
