Jamestown is a township stretched across a narrow finger of land in the heart of tranquil Narragansett Bay. Extending 9 miles (14.5 kilometres) from top to bottom and just a mile (1.6 kilometres) wide, Conanicut Island packs plenty of interesting attractions into its narrow shores. Spend some time exploring the island to find a town with charming houses, historic estates, sheltered marinas and tree-fringed beaches. At the southernmost tip of Conanicut Island you’ll find one of the country’s oldest lighthouses at the Beavertail State Park. Check out the lighthouse’s museum and climb to the top to see unparalleled views of the point where Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet. You can also walk or cycle the network of trails in this park or check out a small aquarium.
