Publisher's Synopsis
Rhode Island offers much diversity in a small space, from the fine museums and restaurants of Providence and the sophisticated shops and mansions of Newport, to the quiet pastures and woods of South County and the tranquil beauty of Block Island. With 36 islands and a mainland sliced nearly in two by Narragansett Bay, the Ocean State has over 400 miles of sandy beaches and rocky headlands along its varied coastline.

Detailed maps, an alphabetical guide to "What's Where" in Rhode Island, and an expanded index help you find your way around the state. * An independent guide; no paid listings * New and improved maps * New icons for handicapped access and pet-friendly accommodations
