Beavertail Directions

For Fort Getty, take exit 138 at the Newport Bridge toll booth and head south on East Shore Road. Shortly past Jamestown Harbor, make a right onto Beavertail Road, cut across the island, and go past Mackerel Cove over a short causeway. Fort Getty will soon be to your right and is well marked by signs. For the URI Bay Campus, go to the southern intersection of Routes 1 and 138. (138 intersects Route 1 in two places). Directly across the intersection from 138, go east on Bridgetown Road (which curves down a hill before it crosses Route 1A). Continue through the light to the campus. Near the water's edge, take a left and look for a small picnic area.
