+Things to Do
welcome to
Jamestown
 

Welcome to Jamestown, a post card perfect island 9 miles long and 1 mile wide sitting in magnificent Narragansett Bay.  With one main street and approximately 6000 year round residents, Jamestown exudes a sense of quiet rural character, history, and rich sailing tradition.  Visit Fort Wetherill, bike past working farms, grazing cows, and windmills or simply revel in the open space and quiet lifestyle.

Jamestown features beautiful unspoiled harbors with several full service marinas, making it a premiere East Coast boating destination.  Stroll down Narragansett Avenue toward East Ferry Landing and appreciate the heart and soul of Jamestown; stunning views, eclectic shops, and friendly people.  5 minutes to Newport, 10 minutes to Narragansett, and 25 minutes to Providence, Jamestown provides easy access to all that Rhode Island has to offer.
