JAMESTOWN

Jamestown is a tranquil coastal haven filled with historic farms, scenic parks, award-winning restaurants, and locally owned shops and art galleries, offering a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Nestled between Newport and the mainland, this charming island community spans just 9.7 square miles and is packed with coastal beauty - stunning shorelines, handcrafted arts, exceptional dining, and endless adventure. Whether you’re renting bikes, kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards, Jamestown is the perfect place to explore on the go. Visit Mackerel Cove, a peaceful, half-mile long spot that’s perfect for relaxation, and be sure to stop by nearby Beavertail State Park.

For golf enthusiasts, the Jamestown Golf Course offers a delightful 9-hole course.  Jamestown's dining scene is top-notch, offering farm-to-table and sea-to-plate dishes that highlight the island's local flavors. After a delicious meal, head to the Jamestown Arts Center for a dose of culture, where you can enjoy exhibitions, classes, and cultural events showcasing both visual and performing arts.

Enhancing the charm of Jamestown, four farms span 502 acres, making up 8% of the island. These farms—Windmist Farm, Hodgkiss Farm, Watson Farm, and Dutra Farm—are permanently preserved and protected from development.
