Rhode Island is the smallest state in the U.S.A and in 1776, it was the first out of the thirteen colonies to declare its independence from Great Britain. With more than 643 kilometres (400 miles) of coastline, the sailing capital of the world can be found here and in Blackstone Valley, you can take a journey through history.
The Gilded Age mansions, beaches of South County, nature of Block Island, and coastal bikeway of East Bay can be found here as well as award-winning theatre and lovely restaurants.
