This Rhode Island town has a little something for everyone, from breweries and wineries to regattas and Gilded Age mansions — and that’s just the start. Go paddleboarding or sailing, visit the International Tennis Hall of Fame, hike along the Cliff Walk with gorgeous ocean views, or simply stroll about downtown to grab a bite and do some souvenir shopping.
Action Line: If you can’t come see me now, then plan on it soon. I’d love to see you. Make a weekend out of it. If you’re planning a trip, let me know here.
P.S. You’ll notice Your Survival Guy’s favored Key West is also on the list. Read more about Key West here.
