From beaches and beach towns to cities with a great summer vibe, here are just a few ideas of things to do in our state this summer.

Beach Town: Newport.

From Gilded Age history to beaches, boats and bars, Newport has it all in the summertime.

Beaches: Everywhere!

RI has some of the best beaches on the planet and whether you like to swim, surf, tan or play with your kids in the sand, you can do it all here! And if you can’t find enough to do and see on the Rhode Island mainland, just hop a quick ferry from Point Judith over to Block Island!

City: Providence.

Food, culture, summer events, Providence has it all going on. Find great restaurants from casual to fine dining options in the city’s Downtown, Fox Point and Federal Hill areas. Take the family for a stroll along the newly revamped riverfront or take in the scenic view from Prospect Terrace Park. And you won’t want to miss the several Water Fire events downtown.
