Galilee Travel Guide

 Pawtuxet Says:  OK... I won't say it anymore. 

 Pawtuxet Says:  While you are sitting there with butter running down your arm... you feel as if the ferry is going to be in the middle of the dining room any minute. Fascinating. Great views. 

 Pawtuxet Says:  It's fun to watch all the various sizes and shapes of boats arriving at the end of the day. Some are pleasure craft, some fishing boats... some at work, some at play... all with seagulls happy to greet them. 

 Pawtuxet Says:  Here is the simple one way street with the Block Island ferry depot highlighted. Can't get lost. Just follow the crowds straight around! 

 Pawtuxet Says:  Here is a pic of some of the fleet that sails to Block Island. There is a high speed ferry in operation now as well. Doesn't seem as romantic or leisurely as the traditional ferry.check the schedules here:Block Island Ferry 

 Pawtuxet Says:  Gaililee and Sand Hill Cove are next to one another. From Gaililee you can take a ferry to Block Island, visit some great sea food restaurants, or walk this wonderful sandy beach. There are fishing trips which you can book....or buy fresh lobsters and other sea food to take... 

 Pawtuxet Says:  There are plenty of T shirt stands and shops with an assortment of beach wear and various trinkets and soulvenirs. Guess it adds to the flavor of a beach community. 

 Pawtuxet Says:  The ferry to Block Island leaves out of Galilee. It makes a great day trip with a ferry ride that takes about an hour or so. When you come back at the end of the day, you could stop in for a beer in one of the Galilee watering holes. Or... just enjoy passing through and take... 

 Pawtuxet Says:  George's is a restaurant but you might not know that if you get there when the bikers are in town and all the young folks are tipping their bottles on the deck with music blasting and the afternoon sun gleaming off the beach. It's a favorite spot with great views out to the... 

 gosiaPL Says:  Gailee's beaches have quiet waters, they are perfect for families with kids. They are also favourite for picnics right on the sand or on the grassy areas. There are three:1) Scarborough Beach on Ocean Road is called a jewel of R.I. beaches. It has a beach-side boardwalk, a... 

 gosiaPL Says:  I haven't seen much of Galilee's architecture but I liked the houses across the canal. I understand they are getting more and more expensive with Galilee getting so popular. I don't think I could afford living on Rhode Island's waterfront but I really fell for New England's... 

 gosiaPL Says:  The breachway, or the canal, is the best place for fishing. The place is totally enjoyable, you can fish, watch the boats coming in and out, have your picnic or take-away at one of the tables... You can also go deep sea fishing for full day or half a day, whatever suits you.... 

 gosiaPL Says:  Having a meal at Champlin's Seafood is really the thing to do in Galilee. I mean REALLY! The place has veen voted the Best Fish and also the Best Lobster & Best Lobster Roll by a Rhode Island's monthly readers. As I point out in my restaurant tip, it's a casual place, you... 

 gosiaPL Says:  I didn't try this one but I imagine the menu is as big as Champlin's, after all both these restaurants serve all the fresh seafood that the ocean provides. I noticed it also has an upper porch (or deck?) so you can eat while watching the boats and Block Island ferries coming... 

 gosiaPL Says:  Champlin's Seafood restaurant is right on the canal. It's a casual traveler's place, nothing fancy: you order your food at the counter and then take it yourself to the table of your choice. Sit on the upper outdoor deck, and you will love the place! You will have great views... 

 Pawtuxet Says:  Watch for this farm stand as you enter (or leave Galillee). along the road you'll see the sign. The farm is owned by the state and there is a lucky family who gets to live in the big old house and tend to the farm. They get to sell the vegetables they grow. They also make...
