Rhode Island is a go to tourist destination in the summer for so many reasons. Not only is it filled with gorgeous attractions, there are also a number of fantastic places to stay and dine. Though the whole state can be explored in little time, there are some destinations within the 401 area code that deserve a whole day of attention.
Rhode Island is a small state with huge coastal attractions! Block Island might just be the most memorable among them.

Once there, you can rent a scooter, bike, or even bring your car on the ferry to explore two historic lighthouses.

Just next to Southeast Light is the Mohegan Bluffs. These 150 foot clay cliffs are a true natural wonder to behold.
