Welcome to picturesque South Kingstown, replete with ocean beaches, charming villages, and, historic sites. Wakefield serves both as the center of South Kingstown and a showpiece of 18th and 19th century architectural styles.  Travel east to beautiful historic Kingston, home to the popular University of Rhode Island and the expanded Kingston Train Station, providing easy access to Boston and New York.

Travel southwest from Wakefield to the stunning white sands of East Matunuck State Beach, and discover the desirable Green Hill Beach neighborhood.  Watch a show at the newly re-opened historic Theater by the Sea after dinner at The Pump House, originally constructed as a pump house now serving as a charming country restaurant.  15 minutes to Westerly, 20 minutes to Newport, and 35 minutes to Providence, South Kingstown is an ever growing, active, and energetic community.
