Ocean Lover Things to Do in Rhode Island

Home to nearly 400 miles of coastline, Rhode Island offers an abundance of ways to enjoy activities in, on and around the water.  Relax with your toes in the sand while listening to the thundering surf or use the water as your playground to take a sailing charter in Newport or head out on a fishing trip along Block Island or maybe discover a new area via kayak or paddleboard.  You can even keep watch with an overnight stay at the Rose Island Lighthouse. With so much to do on the water, you’ll understand just how we got dubbed the “Ocean State.”
