Rhode Island Travel Guides

Rhode Island is a coastal New England state and it’s the smallest state in the US! It’s most known for its beaches, its Gilded Age Mansions and for its capital city of Providence.

It may be small, but there is still plenty to do in Rhode Island. From biking on railroad tracks to seeing the WaterFire show in Providence, you can find lots of unique activities in this state.
