Sightseeing

Newport is about 35 minutes away (in normal traffic) and is a great place to spend the day eating, shopping, walking on the Cliff Walk, visiting the mansions or going to the beach. It is a tourist destination and while fun all year often less crowded during the non-summer months.

Block Island is a good day trip. If you like to bike you can rent a bike when you get off the boat and ride around the island stopping in the port for ice cream and a lobster roll. The boats also run in the fall and while everything may not be often it is much less crowded than in the summer.
