Prudence Island Just Might Be The Most Charming Little Place For A Day Trip In Rhode Isla

Sometimes you just want to get away from it all and take an island vacation. The solitude of being on a small island is unmatched and there is always something fun to see or do. The problem is that sometimes it's not so easy to take a week off of work to sip cocktails on the beach in the Caribbean, but that doesn't mean you can't have your own little island staycation right here in Little Rhody!

Prudence Island is a well kept secret among the locals, and it's no surprise as to why.

This tiny island is under six square miles, has a population of less than 300, and features only one store.

Yup, you heard us right, Prudence Island has no shops, or restaurants, or hotels.

You'll want to make sure you pack a hearty lunch for your trip.

But the lack of businesses and small population doesn't mean this is any less of a great spot to spend the day. The appeal of the island is the wonderful sense of peace and quiet it offers.

With over 13 miles worth of trails to explore and quiet roads perfect for walking and biking, you will feel like you've escaped to your own private little world.

With the population so small, it's likely you can go a whole day without seeing another person, and we think that's pretty cool!

So what are you waiting for, hop on your boat, or the Prudence Island ferry, and spend a day relaxing and exploring this lovely little island.

How excited are you to spend the day on this gorgeous little slice of paradise? The Prudence Island ferry runs year round and you can book your tickets here.
