Warwick is Rhode Island's second-largest city, with about 82,000 people spread along 39 miles of Narragansett Bay shoreline just south of Providence. Founded in 1642, it is a city of distinct villages, coves and beaches, and it is also home to T. F. Green International Airport, the state's main air gateway.
Goddard Memorial State Park has beaches, bridle trails, a golf course and a carousel on Greenwich Bay, while Rocky Point State Park preserves the site of a beloved former amusement park with walking paths and bay views. Warwick City Park offers wooded trails, a beach and bike paths on a peninsula.
Historic Pawtuxet Village has 18th-century houses and the site where colonists burned the British ship Gaspee in 1772, celebrated each June with the Gaspee Days parade. Apponaug Village has the historic city hall, and Conimicut Point Park looks out to its lighthouse. Clam shacks, shopping at Warwick Mall and quick trips to Providence and Newport make it an easy base.
Rocky Point State Park preserves the shoreline site of the famous Rocky Point amusement park, which closed in 1995. Today it has walking paths, a fishing pier, old ride remnants and wide views of Narragansett Bay. Walk the paved loop to the rocky point, and come at sunset for views over the bay.
Goddard Memorial State Park is a large park on Greenwich Bay with a sandy beach, woodland trails, bridle paths, a nine-hole golf course and picnic areas. It was once a private estate. Swim at the beach in summer, walk the shady trails, and look for horseback riding stables nearby.
Warwick City Park in the Buttonwoods area is a wooded park on Greenwich Bay with a beach, bike path, playgrounds, sports fields and picnic spots. Its paved loop trail is popular with cyclists and walkers. Walk the trail through the woods to the water, and bring a picnic for the shady tables.
Pawtuxet Village is a historic village on the Pawtuxet River shared by Warwick and Cranston, with colonial homes, cafes and a waterfall where the river meets the bay. It is linked to the 1772 Gaspee Affair. Walk the riverside park by the falls, and stop for coffee in one of the village cafes.
Apponaug Village is Warwick's historic civic center, home to the ornate 1890s Warwick City Hall and old mill buildings near Apponaug Cove. It has local restaurants and shops. Walk past City Hall to see its Victorian architecture, and stop at Apponaug Cove to watch boats in the harbor.
Gaspee Days is an annual spring festival in Pawtuxet Village celebrating the 1772 burning of the British ship Gaspee, an early act of colonial rebellion. It includes a large parade, an arts and crafts fair and a reenactment of the burning. Arrive early for parade spots on Narragansett Parkway.
Conimicut Point Park is a small park at the tip of a sandy point where the Providence River meets Narragansett Bay, facing the offshore Conimicut Lighthouse. It has a beach, playground and fishing spots. At low tide you can walk out on the sandbar, but watch the tide and currents.
Oakland Beach is a neighborhood beach on Greenwich Bay with a sea wall, a small sandy beach, a boat ramp and seafood shacks serving clam cakes and chowder. It is a classic Rhode Island summer spot. Grab fried clams and clam cakes at a local stand, and walk the sea wall at sunset.
Warwick Museum of Art is a community art center in the historic Kentish Artillery Armory in Apponaug, showing changing exhibitions of local and regional artists and running classes. It is small and welcoming. Admission is free or low cost, so stop in during a visit to Apponaug Village.
Aldrich Mansion is a grand early 1900s mansion on Warwick Neck overlooking Narragansett Bay, built for Senator Nelson Aldrich. It is now an event and wedding venue and has appeared in films. Access is mainly during events, so check for open house days or public tours before visiting.
Warwick Mall is a large indoor shopping mall near T.F. Green Airport with department stores, national brands, restaurants and a carousel. Warwick is the main retail hub of Rhode Island, with more stores nearby on Bald Hill Road. Visit on weekday mornings to avoid crowds and to park easily.
