East Bay

We'll let you in on one of Rhode Island's best-kept secrets: tucked between Providence and Newport County, stretching along the eastern edge of Narragansett Bay, is the area locals call the East Bay. Here is the quintessence of New England, a hideaway for beautiful colonial homes, waterfront villages, lush parks and an abundance of charming shops and restaurants.

A leisurely drive along Route 114 reveals communities that are in no rush to bring in "franchise America." The small family-owned business is the way of life throughout the East Bay, from East Providence to Bristol. Inside fashionable boutiques, fine gift shops and unique restaurants, friendly shopkeepers are eager to tell of the history of their area and, in particular, their patriotic heritage.
