Rhode Island, the smallest US state, packs extraordinary variety into 1,545 square miles: the Gilded Age mansions of Newport, the creative dining scene of Providence, sweeping barrier beaches in South County, and Block Island's untouched bluffs. Despite its size, the Ocean State offers world-class sailing, colonial history dating to 1636, and some of New England's finest seafood.
