Sorry, no private boat docking available, but you can beach small boats at the lighthouse or anchor and use your dinghy. All clambake tickets are held at Rose Island Lighthouse.

POSTPONEMENT: The weather has to be REALLY BAD for us to postpone to Sunday. Check www.RoseIsland.org that morning, or listen for a postponement message at 401-847-4242

 

Tickets are limited.  Check in when you board the boat (we'll have a list on board).  All tickets are held at the Rose Island Lighthouse.  Rain or shine (see postponement notice above).  No refunds.

We're green & proud of it! We practice the 3 R's
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle..simple steps we take to live greener.

After we eat everyone clears their own plates & walks over to the "recycle center". Paper and corn cobs to go onto the bonfire; shells go back into the sea; other organic materials go into the compost pile; meat scraps are either fed to the gulls or they go into our lobster traps as bait; flatware is washed and used again; and cans and bottles are brought back to town to be recycled.  With proper planning and everyone pitching in, we can feed 150 people andgenerate less than a 5-gallon bucket of landfillabletrash.
NO KIDDING!!


OTHER NOTES: Bird nesting season ends Aug. 15. Walking around the perimeter of Rose Island on the beaches is permitted during the clambake. Stay clear of the dilapidated WW II buildings and pay attention to the posted signs. Please pick up beach debris as you go along. Thanks for cooperating!
