WARWICK, RI – On Thursday morning, Governor Dan McKee will lead a speaking program and ceremonial signing of an Executive Order marking the 35th annual Governor's Bay Day at Rocky Point State Park in Warwick.

 

Governor’s Bay Day encourages families to enjoy Rhode Island's outdoor public spaces and engage in an active lifestyle while also highlighting the economic value of our natural resources. The day includes free parking at all Rhode Island state beaches on Sunday, July 28. The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) also will waive the roundtrip fare on South County Express Beach Bus. The South County Express Beach Bus provides weekend-only express service from Central Falls, Cranston, North Providence, Pawtucket, Providence, and Woonsocket to Salty Brine, Roger Wheeler (Sand Hill Cove), and Scarborough State Beaches.
