Rhode Island Tours

The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations,more commonly referred to as Rhode Island.  It is the smallest U.S. state by area. Rhode Island borders Connecticut to the west and Massachusetts to the north and east, and it shares a water boundary with New York's Fishers Island to the southwest.  Despite the name, most of Rhode Island is on the mainland United States.  Rhode Island's official nickname is "The Ocean State," a reference to the state's geography, since Rhode Island has several large bays and inlets that amount to about 30% of its total area. Rhode Island is an example of a cold winter humid continental climate with hot, rainy summers and chilly winters.
