The city of Newport is a nice coastal beach and boat town in the summer, and is a lot more quaint and charming in the fall! From excellent seafood to the Cliff Walk by history mansions, there is a lot to do!
The city of Providence has a lot to do. There is a downtown district with coffee shops and bookstores, a mall with all of the big chain stores. The city is home to Brown University with it's historic campus. The East Bay Bike Path is beautiful in the fall with leaves changing and runs for 12 miles of the Rhode Island coast. Feel free to reach out for specific recommendations!
