This was in our beach bum days, and yet we still barely made a dent in that list – but along the way, we reminded ourselves how even in the smallest state, there’s so much we haven’t seen or done.
And for the most part, we chose beaches we had never visited before.
Several summers back, a friend and I set a guideline for ourselves: every time we went to the beach that year, we went to a different one. Quick quiz: Rhode Island has over 100 public and private beaches – how many have you been to? How many can you even name? Thought so. There’s not really anything left to explore. You’ve been to the state and town beaches, traveled to Block Island, taken a boat out on the bay, snuck onto a private beach or two. Rhode Island is so small and you’ve lived here so long.
