Although it’s America’s smallest state, Rhode Island packs a tiny punch. Abutting numerous bays and waterways, it’s a sailing and yachting hotspot in addition to a hub for coastal retreats, with mansions lining the shores of some of the state’s most affluent towns and villages. Set back from the water is Rhode Island’s urban heart, centered on the capital of Providence, which has become notable for blazing trails in higher education and the arts.
