Things To Do
September is our favorite time of year in the ocean state. Newport offers historic mansions, the cliff walk, along with great restaurants and shopping. If a relaxing day at the beach is more your style, Narragansett beach (a short drive) is one of the best in the state or try Eastons/First beach in Newport and don't forget to stop for a frozen lemonade if you see a Dells truck.
