Warwick Travel Guide
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Warwick, RI, Rhode Island.
Welcome to Warwick, RI!
Rhode Island's second largest city, Warwick is a convenient and exciting base from which to enjoy the area's abundant blessings. Like most other towns and cities in this beautiful, little state, Warwick boasts a seaside location, its 39 mi (63 km) of coastline wrapping around attractive Greenwich Bay and offering spectacular views out over Narragansett Bay, beyond. Needless to say, both locals and visitors like nothing more than to while away the summer on or in the water, and a plethora of tour operators offering sightseeing cruises, charters and fishing trips are based here. For landlubbing fun, Rhode Island's much-loved Goddard Memorial State Park is home to expansive forest areas, a beach, a performing arts center and one of Warwick's many golf courses. The Warwick Museum of Art satisfies hunger for exceptional regional and national art, while a buffet of restaurants serve up a banquet of local and international cuisine. Visitors can also admire Warwick's rich history; founded in 1642, the city's heritage is most apparent in its quaint historic villages, lined with historic homes and buildings. Pawtuxet Village is New England's oldest, and was the site of the attack against the British schooner, HMS Gaspee, in 1772, which essentially kicked off the American Revolution.Tourist Attractions
