1. Theatre By the Sea

Reviewed By 4GivenMuch - Plattsburgh, New York
In a most unsuspecting place! Very charming upscale Playhouse by the sea! Tickets are reasonable and show quality is terrific. There's a lovely bistro connected to the playhouse in which you can dine at before the show. The food is excellent and price are reasonable. There are the most unique upscale restrooms on a trailer! We would love to go back and catch another show without gay life styles being brought forth. It has a concession stand for intermission as well.
2. Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge and Kettle Pond Visitors Center
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By DaveEB310 - Rhode Island
After, visiting another attraction in the area, we had plans to stop by Ninigret to do a bit of walking. However, it seemed as if every square inch of non-parking lot real estate was in use! The fields were packed with visitors, games, soccer matches, and much more! Tennis courts were full. Parking was very full in the main lots, so the walk would have been in the hot sun getting to a field or trail full of people. Even the water was full of swimmers. Dog park was busy when we passed, and so were the bike trails. Disc golf seemed to be available, but we were unprepared. We decided after driving through to try our luck on another day, perhaps in the Fall?

The small ferries are gone (gone south I heard), but the old standbys are still going strong, and for my money and time, nothing is better than the hour spent watching Block Island getting slowly closer over an hour’s time, or reflecting on your BI stay as you see the island slowly get smaller. Walk on, take a bike or car, and enjoy the ride! Great, friendly service. Usually a soft, easy ride (a bit bumpy if you travel soon after a big storm, but really, no worries, the ferries are big enough to easily shoulder the waves away without much rolling or pitching).
4. Shannock Falls

The Shannock Horseshoe Falls are small but pretty in a peaceful setting. A little difficult to find using Google maps but we found it using 1660 Shannock Road as the address. An interesting fish ladder was constructed adjacent to the falls and there are various ruins around the river. Stopped by for a quick visit on the way to Narragansett.
5. Charlestown Town Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
Reviewed By RetiredTraveler2013 - Brooklyn, New York
The beach is beautiful, with nice sand and not too long a distance to the shoreline. However, the walk from the parking lot to the beach is quite long, especially if lugging chairs, coolers and umbrellas. If you do not have a town pass, parking is expensive, I think $20 per car. A pass came with our rental house so we didn't have to pay for parking.
We were there on a very warm Sunday in late June and the place was packed! If concerned with getting a prime spot, arrive early or much later in the day. We had a very comfortable spot until a crowd of about 8 adults erected a large tent in a smaller space between us and others in front of us. I thought they were pretty rude, squeezing into a small space, practically knocking over our umbrella and really crowding us in. But they did achieve their goal; we left shortly after their arrival. Except for that group, it seemed like a nice crowd at the beach, with many happy faces and plenty of laughter around us. But you may be better off going here on a week day.
6. Narragansett Beach

Long flat beach, ideal for surfing.
Reviewed By Lauren L - Connecticut
Ample parking and right on Ocean Road, this is a conveniently located and lovely beach. I went on a blustery day after Labor Day, so paid no fees at all. It's right downtown so there's restaurants and shops nearby. Definitely not a secluded beach feel, but that's why it's the Town Beach after all! Enjoy!

Microbrewery located in Wakefield, RI offering tours, sampling and growler sales. Specializing in artisan crafted ales and a fun, friendly atmosphere.
Reviewed By Tazsemt - North Attleboro, Massachusetts
Went to try the brews, they were good but mainly IPA style which isn't my favorite but we're still very good! The had a dog adoption event going on which was great they support the local animals in the are. Dog were allowed in which was awesome! They have a giant jenga game, pool tables and corn hole. Great place!

Converted barns which now house shops of local craftspeople.
Reviewed By dash_adventure
Seemed like just another tourist trap. There were a few animals and the Bamboo maze was neat. But seemed like every little shop sold the same hippy stuff that was cool in the 1960s. Would have loved to see some local art/crafts for sale. Looked like most of it was made over seas...we did end up buying a scarf so there is that. But most of the stuff was dust collectors little trinkets. All that being said I'm a dude who doesn't really like shopping.

The remaining building left from the Narragansett Pier Casino fire now hosts events and dinner theaters.
Reviewed By Jake D - United States
The architecture of this place is really cool, and the inside is cool also. The area around it is clean and well maintained and it also has a really nice inside. The only thing is we could not get onto the deck outside at the time because of a recreation activity going on, but it is a cool place to see.

beautiful like all the Charlestown Beaches. Parking is an issue so hit it early if you can. Relax where you fall or walk and explore the dune environs.
