Rhode Island

The smallest state in the U.S., with bay scenery, Newport's Gilded Age mansions and a distinctive maritime culture.

Rhode Island lies in southern New England, where Narragansett Bay reaches deep inland and the coastline is long relative to the state's size. Newport is known for its Gilded Age mansions and the Cliff Walk, and is also a major sailing center; the capital, Providence, has a lively arts and dining scene and is famous for its summer WaterFire events; Block Island is an island getaway. Summer is peak season on the coast, and fall is pleasant. The main gateway is T. F. Green International Airport near Providence, and Amtrak also has a station in Providence.
