Bay Spring, located between Narragansett Bay and Hundred Acre Cove, is a coastal and residential Barrington neighborhood with salt-air shorelines and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bay Spring Avenue and County Road corridor, where small storefronts and everyday errands meet the rhythm of passing bikes and strollers. Classic New England colonials and mid-century ranches sit on leafy lots, with glimpses of water near the coves. The shoreline paths and pocket beaches shape a routine built around tides, kayaks, and evening walks. Nearby, the East Bay Bike Path adds a steady current of commuters and weekend riders. A short drive away, Barrington Books, the Barrington Preservation Society, and the historic Crescent Park Looff Carousel anchor local culture.
