The Port of Galilee is a beautiful and authentic New England fishing village near Narragansett in South County Rhode Island. It is known for its beautiful beaches, sightseeing cruises/tours, quality shopping, dining and unprecedented fishing/quahogging. It also is home to the Block Island Ferry. With ferries leaving daily, Galilee offers options for day trips to Block Island during a vacation. Galilee obtained it’s biblical title in 1902 from a Nova Scotia native fishermen Thomas Mann in spite of its prospering fishing economy. Ever since, Galilee has been a thriving fishing port that transports 16+ million pounds of fish/shellfish each year up and down the East Coast. It wasn’t until the 1930’s that the State of Rhode Island dredged the basin and built wharves providing a harbor and refuge for now what is the Port of Galilee and Point Judith Harbor of Refuge.
