Gull Cove State Boat Ramp offers a single-width linked concrete plank ramp with extensive gravel parking, providing well-protected access to the Sakonnet River and Mount Hope Bay from a peninsula location.

The shallow cove (approximately 2 feet at mean low water) is suitable for hand-launched boats like canoes and kayaks as well as trailer-launched vessels, though the narrow channels connecting different parts of the cove can have strong tidal currents and sudden drop-offs.

A fixed bridge at the cove's mouth has 25-foot vertical clearance at high tide, limiting access for larger sailboats.
