In a rapidly growing New England, it’s getting more and more difficult to find those small towns that exude that quiet charm. In Rhode Island on the farm coast, there is a place where life is a little slower and the scenery a bit brighter. This small town heaven is a coastal community we all know as Little Compton.
Little Compton is where the beauty of the coast meets allure of the farm. It is a place where time seems slowed and conversations on the sidewalk are friendly and unhurried.
The hub of the town is Wilbur's General Store which has been serving the community for more than 100 years. Visit this welcoming spot and wander through eight rooms of everything imaginable. Hardware, groceries, clothing, books, and more are all here in this true old-fashioned store.
Walk the small downtown neighborhood and stop in at the Commons Lunch for a meal. Well known for its incredible johnnycakes, you can get a true taste of small-town Rhody at this long-standing restaurant.
Head to the edges of this small town heaven and encounter waves lapping against sandy shores. South Shore and Goosewing Beaches are popular spots for strolling, sunning, and swimming.
Seek out the Art Cafe for coffee and pastries. More than just a quirky coffee shop, this spot also has art days and live music at times. It's a gathering place where all visitors become friends.
This is just a taste of what awaits in Little Compton. Take a trip to the town in Rhode Island where life slows down, little things are more appreciated, and each moment seems more vibrant.
