Large marina with extensive docks filled with boats, a prominent striped asphalt parking lot containing numerous vehicles, and several buildings including a large covered structure.
Striper Marina is situated in Barrington, Rhode Island, along the western shore of Narragansett Bay, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean, offering a sheltered yet accessible coastal setting in the New England region. This marina serves recreational boating and sailing enthusiasts in the Narragansett Bay area, where the waters are popular for day trips, fishing, and exploring the nearby Atlantic coastal islands. Its location provides easy access to both the bay's protected inlets and the open ocean waters beyond.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
