François' Favorite Spots in Rhode Island

Antiques shopping

This is an adorable little town with lots of great antique stores and little restaurants. If you have the time, rent kayaks at the Kayak Center and go explore the coastline and admire the marina from the water! A great lunch or coffee break spot is Shayna's Place. Best pastries within 50 miles radius.

Nature exploring

Beautiful hike along the coastline. Peek into the backyards of the beautiful mansions that define the history and charm of Newport.

Beautiful and super easy 2.4-mile hike around the tip of Middletown. You'll be able to see Newport in the distance and stunning water views. Make sure you bring your binoculars for all the bird watching that about to happen.

A local's favorite. Go there early in the morning to score a good spot and watch the morning surfers take over the swale.

Food scene

Best ice cream around, they also have another store in Bonnet Shores if you're in Narragansett for the day. Ash's go-to is a waffle cone with salted caramel and chocolate chips ice cream (yummy). Francois's favorite is chocolate, coconut, almond. Also, the line will be long, but it's worth it.

Great selection of Mexican food from burritos to fajitas, they even have churros for dessert. Their 'boom boom' sauce is just phenomenal. You can easily customize any of the options they have or just make your own. Super affordable

Great views of Narragansett Bay. If you manage to snag some of the Adirondack chairs before your dinner reservation to have cocktails and oysters, do it! Elise Wybraniec is a wonderful Sommelier and provides a great blend of classic and interesting wines to discover while enjoying some of the freshest seafood you'll ever get to enjoy. Fun fact: Ash used to waitress there back in the day :)

Great lunch spot after spending some time on Narragansett Beach, grab yourselves some Maui coconut shrimps, clam strips, lobster rolls, and a nice table overlooking the water. Now that's a lunch I can't wait to have!
