Full Moon Paddle at the URI Bay Campus - July 27th - meet at 6:30 p.m. for a 7:00 p.m. launch

Posted by Erik on 7/27/2026, 5:26 am

The weather looks great for our full moon paddle this evening.

We will put in at the URI Bay Campus beach at the east end of South Ferry Road, Narragansett, RI. Parking is limited, so you will probably need to move your car up the hill after unloading. Sunset is 8:08 p.m. Moonrise is 7:19 p.m. Be sure to bring a single white light that will attach to your boat or person, as required by the Coast Guard for night time paddling.

Please note that this is Level 2 Sea Kayak Trip. You must be an experienced flatwater or sea kayak paddler to participate. A boat 14-feet or longer and a spray skirt is recommended. You must be able to do a wet exit and assisted rescue.
