Scenery
This route takes you through lush farmland, through beach towns, and then to the dramatic cliff-side that Rhode Island is known for. Beavertail Lighthouse is part of the tour which is just stunning to look at. Near the lighthouse is a gorgeous park for you to take a rest, use the pristine outdoor bathrooms. You can even take a swim if you're an adventurous rock jumper. I promise this trip is worth the view!
Drive Enjoyment
Some roads are smooth, but there are a few that are not ideal. Other than that, sweeping curves, minimal traffic. It is relatively flat.
Tourism Opportunities
There is a town in Jamestown that has some food, gas, small cute cafes. This is separate from the more back country area where the lighthouse and beach is. So you can get your needs met in town and then pack a lunch and take it to beavertail lighthouse and enjoy a sunset or the grand view. Bathrooms at the lighthouse.
