Where to go in Rhode Island | Luxurious castles and ancient houses, romantic sunsets by the sea
Rhode Island is great for short trips and is easily accessible from Boston and New York.
As the smallest state in the United States, it has endless surprises to unlock and is super easy to visit.
The seafood here is also delicious. It’s a paradise for eating. The pace of the city is also slow.
Starting from New York, drive for 4 hours all the way to downtown Providence.
🍰【Pastiche Fine Desserts】
You can make a reservation online one day in advance. Rhode Island’s must-try desserts are delicious and you won’t get tired of them.
Signature Fresh Fruit Tart, available in two sizes, 8-inch and 11-inch
It is filled with a layer of fruits and paired with custard sauce, which is full of flavor and layered.
🍱【Mokban Korean Bistro】
There is a Korean restaurant on the street at the door. The cuisine is more traditional Korean and the menu is illustrated with pictures.
I recommend their Pork Belly and Bulgogi Stew, both are delicious.
🏫【Brown University】
The Ivy League campus has been completed, and the buildings on the entire campus have a classical charm.
I like the vitality of the campus, the skateboarding boys, and the students reading on the lawn.
⛲️【Waterplace ParkWaterplace Park】
The old town is also very easy to visit, there are not many people, and you can overlook the entire city from the center of the river.
Walk along the river, enjoy the wind, and unlock another way to see Rhode Island from another angle.
Drive 1 hour from Providence to the coastal Newport luxury area.
🏰【Newport Manison】
There are currently five luxury mansions open, you can check in according to the time you want to visit.

The Elms✨French palace-style castle has an outdoor sculpture garden
Marble House✨The Great Gatsby filming location
Rosecliff✨A castle modeled after the Garden Villas of Versailles
Chateau-sur-Mer✨A permanent historic house that is not a summer holiday home
🍸【The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar】
For seaside seafood restaurants that need to be booked in advance, you can reserve an outdoor area.
It's right by the port, the view is better than indoors, and the cocktails are pretty good.
Recommend GEORGES BANK COD and POINT JUDITH CALAMARI
🌄【Beavertail State Park】
After seeing the ancient castle, you can drive here to watch the sunset and the unique rocky coast.
The stone lighthouse is accessible on weekends and there is a large lawn for camping.
🌊【Cliff Walk 40 Steps】
The seaside trail behind the castle can unlock the castle view from another angle
🎠【Newport Downtown】
Different from Providence’s classical feel, Newport has a more literary atmosphere.
The urban area is not very big, there are only a few blocks where you can go shopping, and there are also small shops on the streets.
🍤【Flo's Clam Shack】
Their seafood is caught fresh every day, and it’s a seafood restaurant with a history of nearly a century.
Fried clams are their signature, and the fried food and fresh seafood are also pretty good.
Recommend Flo’s Raw Bar Sampler and Fried Clams
🪁【Brenton Point State Park】
Both of Rhode Island’s islands are visited together by car. It’s a very local park.
You can fly kites here, and there is also a stone fort hidden in the jungle.
🗿【Fort Adams State Park】
It was once used as a border fortress and is now open to the public as a park.
There are open tours inside the fortress, and you can also go to the park to see the cross-sea bridge.
🌄【Point Judith Lighthouse】
On the way back to New York, I checked into a seaside lighthouse park where I could catch the sunset.
It takes 22 minutes to drive from Newport, and you will pass a cross-sea bridge along the way.
