Things To Do
Colt State Park
Colt State Park’s 464 acres of lawns, stone walls, and curving drives along one of the state’s most spectacular shorelines. Often referred to as the 'Gem' of the State Parks System, the entire western border of the park is an open panorama onto Narragansett Bay. Open year round, the park offers four miles of bicycle trails passing along the Bay along with picnic tables and plenty of open areas. Pack a picnic lunch and go enjoy the beauty that is RI's Narragansett Bay!
Bristol Oyster Bar
One of our favorite local spots! Stop in for a seat at the bar, local oyster, littlenecks and shrimp plus a broader menu and enjoy!
Beehive Cafe

Bowens Wharf
Brick walks, granite quays, and 18th century commercial wharf buildings bring you back to Bowen's beginnings as a thriving seaport in one of the finest natural harbors in New England. There are several shops, restaurants and bars to explore along the Wharf. One of our favorite's is a cup of chowder and cocktail at The Black Pearl!
