This is deep summer in Rhode Island! The ocean waters are warm at last, the farmers markets have the peak sweet corn, local shops are overflowing with fresh seafood, Waterfire and the Washington County Fair are happening, and it's a great weekend to get outside and enjoy our natural state, with your friends and family. For a real weekend-day escape, there is always Block Island, or East Beach in Charlestown, or Trustom Pond 's walking trails, or Napatree Point in Watch Hill (you'll have to pay to park, and there are no facilities, but the beach is free). Pack a lunch, start out early, and spend a day in any of these beautiful spots, and you'll feel you've had a true vacation. Bring a book and a blanket and stay for the sunset. Or visit Goosewing Beach in far-off Little Compton, or any of the state's many farms and wineries that are open to the public, or indulge in lunch on the deck at Castle Hill in Newport, or try any of the 22 dining-spots-with-a-view from this Rhode Island Monthly list. Find more ideas at our NNN Community Calendar, and get outside to enjoy these final weeks of summer, fall will be in the air before you know it. |
