Sakonnet Harbor Public Boat Ramp, located in Little Compton, Rhode Island, offers a serene and picturesque setting for boating enthusiasts. It is the only public boat ramp in Little Compton, providing access to Sakonnet Harbor, the Sakonnet River, and Rhode Island Sound. The area is known for its pristine shoreline and the largest eel grass bed in Rhode Island. Visitors can enjoy stunning views and diverse marine life, but should be cautious of strong winds and waves, especially when navigating small craft.
