East Bay

Bristol County, Rhode Island

Comprised of the towns of Bristol, Warren and Barrington, the East Bay section of Rhode Island is quintessential New England. Bristol is best known for hosting the Annual Fourth of July Celebration which was established in 1785 and is the oldest continuous celebration in the United States.  It also features boutique-lined streets, beautiful coastlines, delicious dining, and splendid history. Colt State Park and the East Bay Bike Path are two swoon-worthy attractions that lure visitors and locals who want to pedal or play.
