Why I want to go to this place  — 1 year ago

I never made it here last summer in my quest to see as many RI beaches as possible. I hear it’s very touristy and crowded, so it never really made my priority list. I kinda planned on taking a visiting friend there in late August, but he visited the one weekend that it rained constantly. I’m excited by the fact that you have to take a ferry to get there (or fly, but let’s be serious). I’d like to try to go next spring, when it gets nice and before all the tourists swarm there.

We went in June and it was great. Stayed in a little B&B instead of in the hotel with “the tourists”. It wasn’t crowded at all. Make sure to walk the beaches in the evenings, especially around the lighthouses. Go and have fun.

Sounds awesome! I’m looking forward to it.

I hear...

it’s beautiful in winter, believe it or not. But the ferry ride can be a little bumpy.

Could be fun

But if I’m going to go there, it’ll probably be when it’s warm enough so I can lie on a beach. I do like wintry beaches, but they’re just not the same.
