Traveling to Rhode Island in December 2024
In early December 2024, we took a tour of Rhode Island, the smallest state in the union, yet one of the most densely populated and heavily industrialized for its size.
Despite being only 37 miles wide and 48 miles long, Rhode Island boasts an impressive 120.5 square miles of shoreline along Narragansett Bay of the Atlantic Ocean. The state is also renowned for producing silverware and fine jewelry. One quirky claim to fame is the world’s largest bug, a 58-foot-long blue termite, perched atop the New England Pest Control building in Providence. This giant termite is 928 times the size of an actual termite. Additionally, Rhode Island is famous for its culinary delights, especially local clam dishes. A standout is “stuffies”—oversized clams stuffed with a savory mix of chopped clams, breadcrumbs, and herbs.
We stayed in Newport, a picturesque city on Aquidneck Island in the New England state of Rhode Island. Known as the City by the Sea, Newport is celebrated as a quintessential New England summer resort, well-known for its historic mansions and rich sailing heritage. The White Horse Tavern in Newport, RI, a National Historic Landmark, is recognized as America's oldest restaurant, serving guests continuously since 1673. With a population of approximately 25,000 residents, Newport combines small-town charm with a vibrant maritime legacy.
