Bristol, RI

Bristol is just a 10 minute beautiful drive from our Rhode Island Waterfront vacation property. We love Colt State Park for walking, biking, or just enjoying a sunset. We also recommend Blithewold Mansion and Gardens. There are often events with live music but it's always worth going to see their beautiful gardens. You can also take the ferry to Prudence Island for just $9 round trip. There are also many great restaurants and shops, particularly on Hope Street. There are lots of great places to eat but our favorites are the Beehive for lunch and Quito's for waterfront dining.

This article from Yankee Magazine sings the praises of charming Bristol:

Bristol, Rhode Island | Could You Live Here?

From the March 2019 issue A salty breeze chops the air, blowing into Bristol, Rhode Island. It's April in the old seaport, and already, in the distance, sailboats are flying over the waves, outpacing the last of winter. Narragansett Bay snaps and ruffles like a sheet in the wind; former rum distilleries soak up sun along the waterfront.
