Prudence Island In Rhode Island Was Named One Of The Most Stunning Lesser-Known Places In The U.S.
Rhode Island may be a small state, but those who call it home know it’s still full of hidden gems. And when people come from out of state, they tend to flock to our more well-known attractions. But even some Rhode Islanders haven’t seen firsthand how beautiful and peaceful Prudence Island is. In fact, it’s one of the most perfect off-the-beaten-path spots in America.
Technically, it's part of the town of Portsmouth. But you'll feel like you're in your own world when you're here.
The ferry has limited seating (and a limited schedule), so you'll definitely want to plan your trip in advance.
This is the oldest lighthouse tower in the state that is still standing -- it dates back to 1823.
It was then turned over to the Audubon Society of Rhode Island.
And although those days are long gone, a few military structures remain.
Between the stunning nature trails, breathtaking beaches and ocean views, and historic lighthouse, it's easy to see why Prudence Island is such a beloved hidden gem.
If it’s been awhile since you’ve hopped a ferry to Prudence Island (or if you never have), perhaps it’s time to plan a visit.
