Best Places To Visit In Rhode Island

There are plenty of great places to visit in Rhode Island and things to see. With its beautiful coastline beaches, quaint towns, and rich colonial history, the “Ocean State” has something to offer everyone. Some of the Rhode Island attractions include Colt State Park and Narragansett Town Beach on the Narragansett Bay.

You can take a day trip to Newport RI to see the famous Newport Mansions or take the Point Judith ferry for a Block Island day trip. The cliffs and Atlantic Ocean views are breathtaking.

There are also some scenic hiking trails trails in Rhode Island along the coast. We recommend the Newport Cliff Walk and Mohegan Bluffs hiking trails on Block Island.

If you’re interested in history, take one of the historic walking tours in downtown Providence or tour the Rhode Island State House. For family fun, head over to the Roger Williams Park Zoo. No matter what your interests are, you’ll find something to love when you visit Rhode Island.
