Sightseeing

Beavertail park is a beautiful open space with spectacular panoramic views. A great place for a picnic, exploring the expansive rocky coastline or fishing. It's only a 10 minute drive from the house and 'downtown' Jamestown has some lovely shops, restaurants etc.

Newport is a fabulous place to visit. The downtown area is packed with shops, restaurants, galleries, pubs etc. It is a stunningly beautiful place. Fort Adams, the mansion's, first beach, you really cant go wrong regardless of what you're looking for. It's less than 15 minutes away but can be very crowded on weekends, highly recommend going during the week.

Often referred to as 'the 8th wonder of the world' it's simply a stunning place to visit. A day trip for sure, ferry from Pt. Judith is about 25 mins away and the ferry ride is about 60 mins. Rent bikes when u get off the ferry and ride around, it's beautiful anywhere and everywhere you go.

A lovely, small, historic harbor front town. You can rent kayaks there and explore the area and there are some nice shops and a few restaurants. It's only 15 minutes north on rt 1a. There's a great fish market there as well

A beautiful set of trails that lead out to a nice beach along the West passage of Narragansett Bay. Bring binoculars as there are usually seals on the rocks offshore. This area was originally owned by the Narragansett Electric Company and was slated to be an electric generating plant back in the '70s I believe.
