From a Yelp review, not my writing:
An island
where
patience
is a virtue
Patience Island is a small, very uninhabited island of a little over 200 acres. I say very uninhabited because nobody goes here. It's only about 500 or so feet away from the north part of Prudence Island and although people will land boats on Prudence on occasion, I've never seen anyone on Patience.
At one time Patience Island used to have a year found population, working farms and various buildings. The British burned the whole island back in the Revolution and various hurricanes periodically wiped it out and now it's totally over grown with vegetation. Deer, rabbits, ticks and gigantic flies, but no people. Not even a path to get to the interior of the island so you really have to wait to fall or winter if you want to do some serious exploring. If you look closely you will see remains and ruins of buildings but most of of the signs of civilization are once again swallowed up by nature. I don't know of any serious archaeological digs that have ever been done on the island, but I imagine it is ripe with artifacts and history.
The best way to get to Patience by kayak is to leave from Oakland Beach, go around the lighthouse at Warwick Point and then east across Narragansett Bay. Only about 4 miles or so and you even get to see a cool lighthouse. I guarantee the island will be all yours when you arrive. A cool place to explore and poke around, how often can you say you have a entire island to yourself.
Is this the new StP east coast headquarters?
