We all know that 2020 hasn’t exactly gone as planned, and many of us are looking at our travel bucket lists and laughing (or crying). That being said, our beautiful state is slowly starting to open back up for local adventures, and there’s still plenty of time to experience many of Rhode Island’s top natural wonders. Here are seven spots we recommend checking out before the year ends (or anytime you can).
- Mohegan Bluffs, Block Island
Kayla S / TripAdvisor Block Island is a bit of a natural wonder in itself, is it not? However, the large clay cliffs that make up the Mohegan Bluffs are especially splendid, and every Rhode Islander should see them.
- Beavertail State Park, Jamestown
DareU2Move / TripAdvisor Beavertail State Park consists of 150 acres of rocky cliffs, ocean views, and an iconic lighthouse. It’s everything we love about Rhode Island wrapped up in one park package.
- Norman Bird Sanctuary, Middletown
eleanor G / TripAdvisor Norman Bird Sanctuary is truly an underrated treasure. Not only is this a fantastic place to go bird watching, it’s also a perfect place to enjoy a nice, peaceful nature walk.
- Goddard Memorial State Park, Warwick
GibGibTravels / TripAdvisor This just might be Rhode Island’s most beautiful park, if you take into consideration all of the beautiful beaches, beautiful hikes, and lush greenery perfect for enjoying picnic lunches.
- Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge, Charlestown
Kristy Lee / Google This gorgeous wildlife refuge spans the shores of Ninigret Pond. The salt marshes, kettle ponds, and freshwater wetlands are simply magical, not to mention the 250 species of birds that call it home.
- Lincoln Woods State Park, Lincoln
benn_there / TripAdvisor Lincoln Woods State Park spans 627 acres, each one more breathtaking than the last. If you’ve never been, you owe it to yourself to go, especially in the autumn.
- Newport Cliff Walk, Newport
Adrian Scottow / Flickr It doesn’t matter how often you go to the Newport Cliff Walk. It takes your breath away every time, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
