A Leisurely Day Wandering in Rhode Island 🌞

Spent a chill day exploring Rhode Island—no rush, just casual stops and good vibes. Here’s how it went! 1️⃣ Cliff Walk This trail is long! We hiked most of it, but when we hit the “Difficult” section (see Photo 4), we called it quits—I was so scared of slipping on the rocky terrain 😱. Turns out we weren’t alone; lots of other hikers also turned back here! My friend and I took our time, strolling slowly, and it took us about 1.5 hours total. It’s perfect for a post-meal walk to work off some calories—fresh sea air + gentle exercise = pure relaxation 🌊. 2️⃣ Hemenway Restaurant (Near Brown University) This spot was a winner! 👍 The ingredients were super fresh, but here’s a tip: order less! My friend and I split two appetizers, a clam chowder, and two orders of oysters… and we were already half-full after that. If you want to try a main dish, go easy on the apps first. We got the steamed mussels, and while they tasted a little different from what we’re used to, they were still delicious—you can’t go wrong with ordering them! 🦪 3️⃣ RISD Museum My take? It’s not as big as the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts), but it’s still totally worth a visit! The exhibits aren’t huge, so you can walk through the whole museum in about 2 hours. There are some cool art pieces and unique displays—great if you want a laid-back museum experience without feeling overwhelmed 🎨. 4️⃣ The Breakers (Next Time for Sure!) …And just like that, our chance to visit vanished! 😂 We got to Newport around 5 PM, but the mansion’s hours are 10 AM to 5 PM—we showed up right as they were closing. If you want to check it out, definitely arrive earlier! On the bright side, I haven’t watched (or stayed awake through) The Great Gatsby yet, so it didn’t feel like a huge regret—more like an excuse to come back later 🏰. 5️⃣ Fruit Tart Let me tell you—this was 100% worth the hype! It lived up to every recommendation, and there’s a clear gap between this tart and the ones from Whole Foods (sorry, Whole Foods!). Fresh fruit, creamy filling, and a crispy crust—total dessert perfection. No trip to Rhode Island is complete without it 🍓. #RhodeIsland #RhodeIslandTravel #RhodeIslandFruitTart
