Rhode Island Tourism By: Kevin Stith
When a number of vacationers think about vacations, their views spin to long stretches of sandy beaches, clear ocean waters, cool winds, and bright sunshine. No trip to Rhode Island is complete without taking time to enjoy the picturesque, clean beaches. Rhode Island is the smallest state in the United States but has more than 400 miles, or 650 km, of shoreline and over 100 public and private beaches. This is why Rhode Island has been nicknamed, the Ocean State. A huge number of tourists take trips to Rhode Island every year to enjoy this long stretch of scenic coastline. The more protected beaches of Narragansett Bay feature ?breakwater? barrier protection and may be more appropriate for novice swimmers.
