Easy parking, abundant fish and bottom topography, but a pretty steep entry down a rocky hillside to a small and pretty cove.  This site isn't very protected so make sure to take a look at the entry and conditions before suiting up.  The park is basically located at the end of a point.  Man is it lovely here!  Best diving is about 50 yards straight out into 30 fsw.

Route 138 east to the Jamestown boat yard, R on Narragansett, L on Southwest, turns into Beavertail Rd to parking lot #2 in the park. GPS: N 41 27.074 W 071 23.971
