This is an excellent spot for a family reunion, or just soaking up the sun and breeze. Right by the water, so no matter how hot it gets, you always get an ocean breeze, blowing off the water. Prices are really reasonable, and the spots are spacious and open. You also have Bristol Town Beach right next store. The park is a walkable park, and you have access to the East Bay Bike path.

Blithewold, named in Yankee Magazine's 2010 Best 5 Public Gardens in New England is located on Narragansett Bay, 25 minutes east of Providence and 60 minutes south of Boston. Blithewold, a 33-acre summer estate with grand views of Narragansett Bay, is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully developed and authentic examples of the Country Place era. The property features a 45-room mansion filled with family heirlooms framed by a series of lovely gardens that range in character from mysterious to exotic and from poetic to practical. An exceptional collection of rare and unusual plants, specimen trees, an accessible greenhouse, and whimsical stonework project a character that is romantic, fresh and inspiring - and unique to Blithewold. Come...and be inspired.
Musicians and lovers of Music will delight in going to the many concerts held in the living room of this 200 year old former private home. We went when it was decorated for Christmas and the whole large house/mansion sparkled! I will go back every time I visit the area. Great Gift Shop!

This center is truly beautiful. The building is wonderfully constructed with a great aquarium and nature exhibits including an interactive series of bird pics with corresponding bird calls. It seems there is some activity there almost every weekend. The recent event was a raptor weekend with demonstrations of live raptors (owls, eagles, hawks, etc) even having hawks flying above visitors' heads. The property includes lovely gardens including some pollinator fields and insect habitat, and fields below the main building yield to wooded areas with trails that go down to the bay with views of Osprey nesting platforms. The whole site is all about education (e.g. of marsh, fields, birds, etc) and it's engaging for adults and children of all ages.
