Peak Season: Rhode Island has two peak tourist seasons: summer and winter. On Memorial Day weekend the crowds start coming to the coast for water sports, shopping, and sightseeing. Newport is hectic and crowded and Rhode Island flight and hotel reservations are an absolute must. Many smaller museums and attractions throughout the state are open only from Memorial Day to mid-October. Charming in the winter, Rhode Island becomes a Winter Wonderland, and Newport’s holiday season is particularly stunning. Off Season: Cheap flights to Rhode Island can be found in the spring and there are also fewer crowds around the state. Fall also has moderate airfare prices, but make Rhode Island flights and reservations ahead of time because places fill up with the fall foliage leaf peepers. Newport in the off season is charming, prices are lower, parking is often free, and the stores have end-of-season sales.

The smallest state, Rhode Island is 48 miles long by 37 miles wide so getting around is easy. Public transportation and ferries run between Providence and Newport, and there are ferries to Block Island. New England Airlines flies scheduled Rhode Island flights from Westerly State Airport to and from Block Island. There is bus service around Providence provided by the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA), and it is a pleasant city to see on foot. Traffic is reasonable so driving is a viable option, but parking can be an issue. Finding a space on the street during the day is difficult and overnight parking on the street is not allowed. Newport is easy to walk around and RIPTA buses run from the town to the beaches. In the summer free shuttle buses connect the main sights and shopping area. Biking is another popular way to get to the beaches. Cars are not recommended on Block Island and considering the cost of taking a car on the ferry, it is best to rent a bike or moped when you get there. If you need to take a car, make your ferry reservations a couple of months in advance.
