Things To Do
Beavertail State Park
This is where we got engaged and is one of our favorite spots in all of Rhode Island. Absolutely gorgeous and a must see!
Block Island
A must when visiting Rhode Island! Take a ferry and do a day trip here...it's worth it! Great beaches, fishing, outdoor adventures, and Mohegan bluffs. Everyone loves Block Island, and it's no surprise why. We took a day trip here last summer and had the best time together. Romantic and fun! We loved the bluffs and beaches! Rent a bike to get around the island-- you'll love the views. :)
East Matunuck State Beach
Rhode Island is known for its beautiful beaches, and this is our favorite beach in the state! EAST Matunuck specifically, not just Matunuck (which is a different beach).
Newport
The famous Cliff Walk, coastal mansions and tours, sailing, history, fishing, shopping, etc. Newport is filled with activities. Enjoy a boat ride around the coast or dinner with a view at the Lighthouse Inn. Olive loves the cliff walk that follows along the coast. Drive to Newport for a day of adventure and fun! We love to fish here too. Striper season is coming!
Boston
45 minutes away from where we live in Providence, Boston needs no introduction. You can even take the train there (commuter rail) and avoid the drive. It's a gorgeous city filled with history, incredible food, beautiful strolls through the streets, and fun along the Charles river (like kayaking). Want specific recommendations on food and activities? Let us know and we'd be happy to share if you want to have a day of adventure in Boston!
Narragansett Beach
Right by our wedding venue! A beautiful beach to enjoy!
Westerly
Benjamin has family from Westerly. The town and beach (Misquamicut Beach) are lovely!
Watch Hill
A special area of Westerly-- Taylor Swift even has a home here! You can visit the light house, enjoy the water, beautiful walks, shops, etc.
Providence
Benjamin and I live in Providence and we love this city! Drive around the east side (not East Providence, but the east side of Providence). Enjoy delicious desserts at Madrid in charming Wayland Square. Have dinner downtown at Capriccios or Gracie's, or CAV in the jewelry district. Stroll along the water ways that go through the city or take a romantic gondola ride (one of our favorite dates together). We have some of the best food in the country here in little Rhody. There's also tons of amazing history to enjoy and Brown university is a gorgeous campus to behold. Have a picnic at India Point park and explore the artsy shops on Wickenden St.There's the zoo and Roger Williams park! There's our little Italy-- Federal Hill (where restaurant Constantino's plays live music outdoors all season long). We love PVD!
Cape Cod
So many towns and places to enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Cape. You're closer to the Cape in PVD than people in Boston. It's right there! https://travel.usnews.com/rankings/best-cape-cod-beaches/
Martha's Vineyard
The water, nature hikes, island bike rides, great views and fishing...take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and enjoy!
Sons of Liberty Spirits Co.
One of our favorite distilleries. You can't go wrong with Sons of Liberty.
Proclamation Ale Company
Delicious brews and cool vibe. Need we say more?
Mapleville Farm
If you want the BEST bread...and we do mean the BEST...order ahead of time for Mapleville farm--it's a bit of a drive (half hour from PVD), but the Ryan family is a treasure. They bake pure love. Benjamin and I are part of their breadbox subscription, and we go there every Saturday. While a bit of a drive, it's beautiful through the wooded scenery and farms of western Rhode Island.
Nantucket Island
The water, nature hikes, island bike rides, great views and fishing...take the ferry to Nantucket and enjoy!
Mount Washington
Love the mountains? Climb one of the highest in the NE. It's a few hours away from PVD, but we love the mountains of NH. This is a great option for anyone that wants an adventure. You can also go to the historic hotel nearby and enjoy lunch and gorgeous mountain views!
Mount Monadnock
A couple of hours from PVD and a great hike most people can make! We enjoy it and Benjamin used to do a day hike here almost every year.
White Mountains
The mountains are calling! NH is one of our favorite places. We love the mountains-- they are filled with endless beauty and adventure.
New York
New York is a 3 hour train ride away--or you can drive to Connecticut and take the metro into the city!
