Beautiful Rhode Island proves, once and for all, that size does not matter when it comes to having fun. Surrounded by rivers, streams, lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean, Rhode Island is a water sportsman's best friend. Fishing is superb off the rocky coast, as are the boating, sailing, swimming, sunbathing, canoeing, and kayaking. A center for both Revolutionary and Native American history, Rhode Island is a leader in many things the first U.S. Open, first professional polo match, oldest carousel in the country, first open golf tournament, and first U.S. circus, among several other notable notations. In short, from the historical to the natural, Rhode Island is a vacation destination for all.
