This small town is not considered a major tourist destination, not even a moderate one. People often pass by en route to more famous travel places.
Yet, the town humbly possesses many treasures: a waterfront with beach, quaint downtown with locally-owned shops and restaurants, a bike trail and one of the last authentic soda fountains in the northeast.
Hint #1: The town is located in southern New England.
Hint #2: It’s the smallest town in the smallest county in the smallest state.
Hint #3: The town was well-known as whaling port and as a shipbuilding center beginning in the 18th century.
