The South Coast Center (closed for repairs)

The South Coast of Rhode Island is home to some of the most diverse and ecologically important habitats and marine creatures. Our South Coast Center in Westerly invites visitors to learn about these amazing animals and the rivers, bays, and salt ponds that they call home.
The South Coast Center features an interactive touch tank, several aquaria highlighting native marine and freshwater species, a kid’s story time area, a craft table, a watershed map of the south coast, and much more to educate both children and adults.
Admission to the South Coast Center is free, though donations are appreciated and support the work of the South County Coastkeeper and Save The Bay’s efforts along Rhode Island’s southern coast to protect our invaluable local waters and ecologically significant habitats for future stewards.
Our History in Westerly
Save The Bay officially established their presence in downtown Westerly in 2007 with support from the Forrest and Frances Lattner Foundation. Since that time, support from the Foundation and other local members, donors, and partners has helped Save The Bay to continue its work advocating for water quality improvements in local waters, restoring native habitats, and educating our youth about marine and coastal science.
