Shore Dinner Area is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about 0.2 miles from the community of Meadow View. It sits among a cluster of named climbing spots, and the closest are The Corkscrew Boulder and Puddingstone Heights, both under a mile away. The area holds five bouldering routes, all rated between V0-1 and V6- on the V scale. The easiest is Clamcakes direct at V0-1, and the hardest is Cherry Bomb at V6-. The style of all the routes is bouldering, which makes this a compact destination for those drawn to short, crag-based climbs. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Providence run from highs around 69°F in May to 64°F in October, with July highs near 84°F and winter lows in the low 20s. Puddingstone Heights and The Corkscrew Boulder are the closest climbing neighbors, and the Barrington River and Mashapaug Pond offer fishing within about 7.6 miles.
