Quintessential Rhode Island
Communities
Bristol
If you're looking for that proverbial
"All American town," then Bristol is the place to go.
Known as the "most patriotic
town in America," Bristol abounds with American community
spirit with American flags displayed throughout town and a red,
white and blue median strip in its downtown. The oldest Fourth
of July celebration in America, beautiful historic and incredibly
well-maintained Colonial homes (one after the other on Hope Street),
town buildings, bed and breakfasts and museums only augment the
All-American" town look perhaps more than any other town
we've visited in New England. More...
Galilee (Narragansett)
Biff and Muffy might not like
the rough and tumble authentic fishing village feel of Galilee
in Narragansett, RI, but Jack and Diane will certainly love the
public ocean water beaches and seafood shacks that make this
South County Rhode Island travel destination so appealing. More...

Rhode Island
state vacation summary
For
a small state, Rhode Island sure has a lot of public beach space.
Along with Cape Cod, Rhode Island
just be the best place to go for a family beach vacation. South
County is the travel destination jewel where sparkling c,lean
beaches with names like Roger Wheeler, Scarborough, Salty Brine,
Watch Hill and Easton's provide enough room for everyone. There's
plenty of sand, the water is relatively warm for New England
and the waves generally not too rough when compared to, say,
Maine.
Seafood restaurants with ocean
views like Champlin's and George's, both in the fishing village
of Galilee offer great clam chowder, lobster dinners and everything
else you would expect from a New England "fresh catch-of-the-day"
seafood restaurant.
If the beach scene isn't your
cup of tea, there's plenty else to do in Rhode Island. Providence
is considered by some to be one of the most impressive mid-sized
cities in the United States. The Ivy-League spirit of Brownstone,
tree-lined College Hill is a pretty place to walk and features
some nice shops and restaurants in what seems more like a small
town. The downtown offers big time shopping at the three-level
Providence Place, theaters and museums, a lively arts communities,
and some of the best restaurants in New England (Al Forno, Red
Stripe and Sicilia's for pizza). Federal Hill offers charming
Italian neighborhoods with plenty of authentic Italian restaurants
and plenty of colorful storefronts.
Newport is famous for its mansions
and myriad shopping and recreational opportunities, while small
east side towns like Bristol, Tiverton Four Corners and Barrington
are loaded with New England village charm and places to rest,
relax and escape.
Rhode Island certainly makes
the most of its small size. It's truly astounding how much there
is to do here. We highly recommend researching Rhode Island on
VisitingNewEngland.com to create your perfect vacation!

Tips on where
to vacation in Rhode Island
Newport, RI
Mansions, yachting, beaches and an incredibly diverse and expansive
network of shopping make this small city a prime New England
vacation destination. Newport is also close to South County (and
virtually anything else in this small state), which seemingly
has an infinite amount of public beach access, therefore, making
it a great alternative to Cape Cod. Newport,
