Have you been wanting to take a break from all the stress and recuperate in a sleepy New England hamlet along the coast?
Well, Islands, a travel publication that started in 1981, says this spot in Rhode Island is the perfect retreat.
“The coast of New England along Long Island and Rhode Island Sounds can feel a bit developed and urban, making one long for the pastoral farm views of New Hampshire or Vermont,” Islands said. “But with a little poking around, you can find a rural feel right in Rhode Island — you just have to know where to look.”
And for that, they recommend heading to Tiverton.
Tiverton — ‘cozy town’ that blends ‘farm and seaside charm’
Islands named Tiverton as the perfect little hideaway with just the right hint of rustic and coastal charm along the coast.
What Islands said about it: “The best beach in the area is Fogland Beach, situated on a peninsula that juts into the Sakonnet River. It’s only about seven minutes away from the Four Corners by car. Another spot is the small but pretty Grinnell’s Beach on the north side of town, which sits directly across from The Red Dory restaurant. In addition to the beaches, you’ll want to check out the many hikes and spectacular views you can get inland. Historic Fort Barton and the Fort Barton Woods are top picks. If you want to stretch your legs and take in some woodland and marsh views, consider exploring the Emilie Ruecker Wildlife Refuge.”
For the “best beach” in the area, they recommended making a trip to Fogland Beach. The black stone beach is right near another spot they recommend: Four Corners.
“Four Corners is the perfect place to start looking because everything is neatly centered around the main intersection and is housed in historic buildings that are beautiful to explore. You’ll find a surprising collection of boutiques, antique and home decor suppliers, jewelers, and artist studios,” the article said.
