The Rhode Island Town In The Middle Of Nowhere That’s So Worth The Journey

Rhode Island is filled with wonderful small towns! While not a single a place can really be considered "in the middle of nowhere," by most terms, Rhode Islanders have different standards for things considered close by. This one small town found along the Massachusetts border and running along Narragansett Bay is a perfect example.

Located in stunning Newport county is the charming town known as Little Compton.

With a population of well under 4,000, few people expect there to be many fun things to do here, but they couldn't be more wrong.

The town is filled with amazing natural and man-made attractions ranging from gorgeous beaches to fantastic vineyards, and more.

Pictured here is Carolyn's Sakonnet Vineyards found at 162 W Main Road.

The Little Compton Commons in the center of the town is not only rich in history, it is also a place to find several great attractions all in a small area.

It is lined with Victorian and Greek Revival era buildings, a historic congregational church and cemetery, wonderful restaurants, and more.

Little Compton is also filled with gorgeous beaches that are often less crowded compared to nearby coastal towns.

Goosewing beach on South Shore Road in particular is a picturesque place to relax in the sun.

Just driving through the farm area found in the rural parts of the town is like something out of a dream.

There are plenty of farm stops to visit along your drive to purchase fresh produce and other great locally crafted foods.

A trip to Little Compton would not be complete without visiting breathtaking Sakonnet Point.

Found at the most southern point in town, the views of the Atlantic Ocean, with a historic lighthouse painting the horizon, are unmatched.
