While Newport has earned an enviable reputation worldwide, its surrounding coastal communities are full of critically acclaimed eateries, remarkable attractions, unique shops and quintessential New England charm. Bristol, home of the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the nation, is known as America’s Most Patriotic Town, in case the red, white and blue roadway lines (in lieu of your standard double yellow) across the town’s central thoroughfare didn’t give it away. Warren is known for a centuries-old working waterfront juxtaposed by a fresh, modern culinary scene. Tiverton is home to one-of-a-kind stores, artisan galleries and eateries; many nestled in Tiverton Four Corners, a historic village of 18th century buildings, while neighboring Little Compton boasts a bucolic vineyard and Goosewing Beach Preserve, one of the state’s most scenic locales. Jamestown, which is the whole of Conanicut Island, is a peaceful coastal gem with historic farms, picturesque coves, shops, art galleries and Beavertail State Park and lighthouse. Come discover our Classic Coast, where a story lurks around every corner.
