Rhode Island: An Explorer's Guide, 6th Ed.

Phyllis Méras and Katherine Imbrie

Diminutive Rhode Island offers great diversity. Explore more than 400 miles of sandy beaches and rocky headlands, the splendid historic mansions of Newport, and the fine restaurants of Providence’s Federal Hill; enjoy the tranquil beauty of Block Island and fascinating museums and historic sites. Veteran travel writers Méras and Imbrie capture it all in this revised and expanded edition.

Phyllis Méras, formerly the travel editor for the Providence (RI) Journal, has written for many regional and national publications. She is also the author of Carry-Out Cuisine, Martha’s Vineyard: Quiet Pleasures, and several other books. Rhode Island author and Providence Journal feature writer Katherine Imbrie is also the coauthor of Ice Ages: Solving the Mystery.

"Rhode Island: An Explorer's Guide should be required reading for Rhode Islanders who are looking for something to do on that beautiful summer day, rainy fall weekend, or when relatives from the Midwest who have never seen the ocean come to visit."
—Warwick Beacon, (Warwick, RI)
