Life in Rhode Island

Discover Rhode Island and its amazing natural beauty, authentic traditions and rich history. A place where you can hike, bike, and paddle through woodlands or 400 miles of coastline. Our Discovery Trails make it easy to enjoy our pristine nature, heritage and majestic Narragansett Bay. Hungry? From seaside clam shacks to cutting edge cuisine, Rhode Island has a celebrated culinary reputation. Our events calendar is filled with music, dance, theatre, festivals and fun activities for the entire family.
Nestled around Narragansett Bay, one of the most significant estuaries in the U.S., Rhode Island is a place of stunning natural beauty. From the quaint village of Wickford, where the streets are lined with boutiques and cafes…to the legendary sailing city of Newport, where a visit to the city’s historic mansions and glittering harbor attract thousands of visitors from around the world each year…to the rising star capital city of Providence, where you can experience some of New England’s finest restaurants, shopping, live entertainment and the famous Water Fire celebrations, Rhode Island truly has something to offer everyone.
Our warm summers are perfect for boating, golf, fishing, swimming and a host of outdoor activities. Wintertime brings Providence’s theatre and symphony season, as well as ice skating, sledding and skiing. Our verdant springtime brings ample rainfall for beautiful gardens, and the glory of our autumn colors will beckon you out of your easy chair and into the clear, crisp air.
