Rhode Island Travel Guide

A getaway to Rhode Island, the smallest state in the nation—just 1,500 square mi (500 of those being water)—means historic tours, visits to galleries, and fine dining in Providence; apple picking and canal boat rides in the Blackstone Valley; boating and beaching in South County or Block Island; biking in East Bay; and sunset sails and Gilded Age mansions in Newport.
