Great little park, nice views, the dogs had a blast playing in the water. People fishing off the pier, people just walking, very nice spot to drink a cup of coffee and relax. Free parking. no restrooms. lots of shells. dog friendly.

Nature Conservancy and the Rhode Island Dept. of Environmental Mgt are creating a fish reef a few hundred feet off the Fishing Pier at Sabin Point Park in the Riverside district of East Providence. It’s very close to the East Bay Bike Path from Providence to Bristol RI if your in a bicycle.Also easily reached by car from Rte 195E via the scenic Veterans Memorial Parkway south to Pawtucket Ave then south to Shore Road where the fire station is located. A right turn on Shore Road. and a short drive and your at Sabin Point. A beautiful long sandy beach front extends south to Crescent Park point and the historic Looff Carousel. Children will love it! The water is crystal clear and Blue fish, oysters and blue crabs abound! When the new Reef is completed, so will tautog, Black Sea bass and scup!! So great to see this area restored to its formerly pristine appearance. The beach is scheduled to re-open as a recreational swimming area in two years! In the meantime it’s a great place to take a walk and beachcomb. Or if it’s warm weather, stretch out on a beach blanket and enjoy the view. Don’t miss it!
