Welcome to the Ocean State!
As the name implies, Rhode Island's life, culture and people are shaped by the water. Highlights of the state include: Newport with its rich boating history and impressive mansions, The Blackstone Valley, the birthplace of the American Industrialization, Block Island, a little paradise in the ocean and of course Providence with its historic downtown and lively neighborhoods.
While Rhode Island is the smallest U.S. state by area, there are plenty of things to do, sights to see and culture to take in. Rhode Island, commonly referred to as "Little Rhody," is packed with 400 miles of coastline and 20 percent of the country's historic landmarks. As a popular destination, Newport is the sailing capital of the world, home to the famed Gilded Age mansions. Providence's celebrated restaurants, award-winning theatre, and vibrant arts scene is enhanced by an elaborate river-walk. Block Island's natural beauty is something to marvel at as it beckons you to unwind. Whether you choose South County's pristine beaches, East Bay's magnificent coastal bikeway, footsteps through history in Blackstone Valley, or shopping in Warwick, there's always something to do in Rhode Island.
Not only are there plenty of things to do and sights to see, but no matter what your taste, the ocean state offers the perfect place for you to recharge. Rhode Island boasts dozens of cozy bed and breakfasts and inns in lively beach towns, rolling countryside and city centers alike. There is a wide variety from the most opulent boutique hotels in the center of it all, to oceanfront campgrounds and cottages. Not only are there smaller options for lodging, but the area also has a number of chain hotels to relax at after a satisfying day enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes that Rhode Island offers.
As for sightseeing, Rhode Island offers one of the nation's largest concentrations of registered historic landmarks. Centuries of American history are preserved here, from seventeenth-century Colonial houses and churches to the magnificent mansions of Newport. Scores of museums, from maritime to children's museums, are scattered throughout the state. An exceptional appreciation of the performing arts is evident in the state's many fine professional and community theater, dance and musical organizations.
For those who enjoying dining, we've got it all! Travelers from around the world have discovered Rhode Island's amazing variety of top-quality restaurants. Visitors searching for new culinary experiences will find Rhode Island to be a restaurant paradise, worthy of the praise lavished by such publications as the New York Times, Gourmet and Esquire. Of course, fresh seafood is our staple with an abundance of traditional New England fare and unique, local specialties.
