Rhode Island has a lot of character, there’s no doubt about that. And for such a small state, Rhody happens to have quite a variety of small towns with a lot to offer. From our charming historic villages to our relaxing seaside escapes, you’ll never run out of perfect day trips here. These five towns are especially tiny, but they’re always worth visiting.
Watch Hill is a quiet, secluded place filled with the kind of luxurious homes we can only dream of. But it also happens to be a gorgeous seaside village with a main street full of shops and restaurants, a beautiful harbor, and possible celebrity sightings (especially Ms. Swift).

Exeter is, among other things, a paradise for nature lovers. Fisherville Brook Wildlife Refuge is Audubon’s largest public property at 1,010 acres, and you'll never know what kind of creatures you'll see there. The town was founded in 1742, so saying it has a long history would be an understatement.
