Little Compton Is Rhode Island S Most Naturally Beautiful Town

Though the entire state of Rhode Island often feels like one small town, there are some municipalities that are a bit smaller than others. Unfortunately these places tend to get overlooked and their amazing offerings ignored. One small town in particular offers so many beautiful places crammed into such a small space that it’s a must-visit destination.

Located in stunning Newport county is the charming town known as Little Compton.

With a population of well under 4,000, few people expect there to be many attractions within the town lines, but they couldn’t be more wrong.

A trip to Little Compton would not be complete without visiting breathtaking Sakonnet Point. Found at the most southern point in town, the views of the Atlantic Ocean, with a historic lighthouse painting the horizon, are unmatched.
