This tiny state is home to 40 miles of coastline that offers something for every kind of beach goer: big surf, small surf, peace and quiet, water slides and cotton candy, Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss, and all the “biggest little state in the union” summer food staples (clam cakes, stuffies, doughboys, Del’s) you and the overstuffed seagulls trailing you could eat. To do it like a local, bring a beach chair, a cooler of Narragansetts and some coozies, and lots of SPF. You won’t get much in the way of shade—unless, of course, you make fun of the accents. - Town & Country
