Prudence-Island is the third largest island in Narragansett Bay and is part of the town of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The full-time permanent population of the island is less than 100 residents. Prudence Island is located near the geographic center of Narragansett Bay. There are several summer colonies on Prudence Island, including Prudence Park, which is on the west side of the island. Most of the summer homes in this area are spectacular examples of Victorian and Beaux Arts summer homes, quite similar to the homes of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. Bristol Colony, located on the east end of the island is more modern. Sandy Point is located on the eastern side of the island and is the site of Prudence Island Light, more commonly known as Sandy Point Light. Homestead is the site of the island's post office, ferry landing and a general store. As stated earlier, Prudence Island is part of the city of Portsmouth. Portsmouth lies on Aquidneck Island, which it shares with the cities of Newport and Middletown. As of the 2010 census, the population of Portsmouth was 17,389. Portsmouth also claims several other smaller islands, including Patience Island, Hope Island and Hog Island. Recreational activities available in the area include fishing, golf, tennis, bicycling, sailing, swimming and horseback riding. In addition, it's just minutes away from the city of Newport and all of their historical attractions, museums, restaurants and more.
