Rhode Island

Rhode Island is not an island at all, but it claims more than
its share of dramatic rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and
languid riverbanks. The state was founded by religious
dissenters from Massachusetts who chafed at the
orthodoxies of Boston and Salem Puritans. The
smallest US state, Rhode Island is divided by the very
large, fan-shaped Narragansett Bay. At the head of the
bay, the capital city of Providence revels in both its
Colonial history and its futuristic outlook – the latter
courtesy of its colleges and universities. The South
County coastline west of the bay features idyllic
barrier beaches with long, golden strands and fertile
marshes trapped behind high dunes. The mouth of
the bay is crossed by stepping-stone islands (and
magnificent bridges) that lead to the first home of
Lighthouse,
Point Judith the US Navy, now the yachting capital of Newport.
