Just a heads up to any boaters not familiar with the area -
Be aware of rocks surrounding Newport / Jamestown Harbors. There have been multiple shipwrecks recently - one resulting in the sinking of a $500,000 yacht off of Bretton Point.
Some key spots to look out for are:
The shores around Ocean Drive, specifically right off of bretton Point.
Shallow waters off the north side of Rose Island - the waters here are extremely shallow, but very deceiving to inexperienced boaters. The rocks / sand bar are completely submerged under the water at high tide, but are clearly visible at low tide. In the past - many boats have run aground at this spot.
