Please give me one good reason to visit Rhode Island

[JLCinLA]

I would like to plan a tour of the U.S.A.
Would you help me decide where to go by giving us one good reason to visit your State.
Thanks

Newport is a nice place inthe summer time. night life is great and there is always some sort of festival going on. the beaches are not your typical left coast beaches but the do the job. Welcome to Go Newport - The Official Site for Newport RI offers all the information you need

Because Peter Griffin lives in RI and you just might be lucky enough to meet him and the rest of his charming family..

the drunken clam has nickel draft nights.

but seriously we have Narragansett bay. loads of lighthouses a rich maritime culture and old world colonial charm. Not to mention the many local cuisine choices from clamcakes to grinders. and you have to try an awful awful they are the best. and we are one of the original 13 colonies.

There's massive history. There's the greatest seafood on the planet. Federal Hill, home of the best Italian food...PERIOD!! There are......CLAM CAKES!!!

I'd say there is also Rocky Point Amusement Park, but, I can't cuz "developers" need the land to make money. Oh well, so much for tradition.

We are the smallest state with biggest name, The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, (for now). Also, there is more variety in beaches than you would ever need

IMO the beaches in Rhode Island are far better than the left coast beaches with the possible exceptions of Carmel...and Blacks Beach in San Diego. Carmel has stretches of really fine sand and a great view scape, Black's has its own view scape! Besides the beaches, RI has fishing ports that are really fishing ports just as Monterray used to be. Additionally,
Rhode Islanders have an accent all their own.
