Hog Island offers one of the most distinctive waterfront lifestyles in Portsmouth, pairing secluded island tranquility with striking views of Narragansett Bay. Accessible primarily by private boat from Portsmouth, this island neighborhood is a unique enclave where classic summer cottages, wind-swept pines, and rocky beaches greet residents seeking an off-the-grid escape that remains close to all Aquidneck Island amenities.
Life here revolves around the adventure of the outdoors. On Hog Island, you'll find quiet trails perfect for birdwatching, peaceful beaches for kayaking or paddleboarding, and a rich tradition of community events at the Hog Island Audubon Camp, which offers environmental programs for all ages. Families with children may appreciate the connection to Portsmouth's highly regarded public schools, a practical benefit just a short boat ride away. Everyday essentials and local fare are accessible in Bristol or Newport, renowned for their cultural landmarks and vibrant local scenes.
Residents relish an unmatched sense of community, from neighborhood potlucks at the Hog Island Improvement Association to lively Fourth of July celebrations. For those who crave more, boating, fishing, and direct access to Narragansett Bay are all part of island life. Though Hog Island is worlds away from mainland bustle, everything from Weetamoo Woods & Pardon Gray Preserve to Prudence Island is within easy reach.
