Things to See & Do in Rhode Island

Rhode Island is nicknamed the Ocean State for a reason! You absolutely have to get out on the water during your stay at a bed and breakfast in Rhode Island. The fresh sea breezes will beckon you to relax on the sand, splash around in the water, or even embark on a romantic sailboat ride. Take a leisurely stroll on the Newport Cliff Walk to see gorgeous ocean views on your left and unbelievable historic mansions on your right. You can even tour some of these beauties in Newport’s Bellevue Avenue Historic District! As you make your way inland, the coastal landscape will change to rolling farmland and dense forests perfect for hiking. For a unique experience, be sure to visit one of the many lighthouses in Rhode Island where you will find great views and history.

Fresh seafood awaits in Rhode Island! Local cuisine usually consists of the day’s catch expertly prepared, New England specialties, and more.
