If you are looking to catch some blue crabs to eat, the leaf dump on 114 in Barrington is a good spot. At least it was. It's been awhile since I've gone

Any body of water near the bay (like colt state park) if you lift up a rock you may be able to see a ton of Asian rock crabs. They’re an invasive species and overpopulated. We like to use them for fishing bait.

Other than that, you can also bring a crab trap and put raw chicken in it. You’d be able to find some blue crabs and lady crabs - maybe even some spider crabs try to eat it.

Oh! So you don't want to catch/eat them and just want to see something cool? Park at the Long Point Boat Ramp in Wickford, then walk along the coast to the left/west. Thousands and thousands of little sand crabs that will be out sunning themselves or whatever, but scurry into their holes when you get within 10 feet or so. Walking/riding through there feels like Moses parting the Red Sea. I have no idea how much longer they'll be around...I know nothing, but I don't imagine they hang out all winter...?

Tidal pools are your friend, the base of the beavertail lighthouse has a ton along with fogland beach. Basically any beach with rocks will have them hiding underneath.
