Horseneck Beach and its State campground are
great resource for travelers on the Coastal Villages
Trail.
Sea Captains like Joshua Slocum built their homes
along Rhode Island Sound where they could live
near the sea between long voyages, some plying the
China Trade others chasing whales. Many of these
homes are preserved, others are antique galleries in
the seaports and fishing villages where the sea
Captains lived and worked.

The eastern road leads to Padanaram, home since 1938 of the famous
Concordia sailing yawls and a haven for small boat sailors.
Back in 1898, an event largely overlooked occurred near here when retired
China Trade Sea Captain Joshua Slocum returned after a three-year solo
circumnavigation of the globe in his 37-foot oyster sloop, Spray, the first ever
solo voyage around the world. He wrote an ingenuous no-frills adventure
yarn in vigorous prose sure to please.
To the west, Fall River attracts travelers with its factory outlets and the
steel-hulled warships at the floating museum of Battleship Cove. There you
can tour the Battleship Massachusetts, the Submarine Lionfish, the
Destroyer J P Kennedy, two PT boats, and a Russian guided-missile cruiser
. Nearby, outlet malls occupy old mill buildings.

Nearby, the Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery conducts wine tours that include tours of the processing
rooms and a tasting gathered around their herb garden.
Special events include a Chef's demonstration of pairing of wines and foods that include a gourmet meal
served with the appropriate wines. The rolling hills bathed in coastal mist in the morning have a climate akin
to that of northern France and produce white wines.
Nearby in the fishing port of Westport Point, just a few miles from Horseneck beach you can see the
house of Stephen Davis, 1770, once a designer of ship hulls, John Head, 1776, builder of colonial homes,
and Gideon Davis an 1827 Captain of a whaling square rigger. The preserved homes of the 19th Century
seafarers line the narrow main street terminating at the docks from where the whalers once sailed the world
and now lobstermen and gill-netters coax a living from the sea.
On this road a few miles north find Lee's Market, great coffee, a huge wine list, and free WiFi
rooms and a tasting gathered around their herb garden.

At Little Compton Commons you will see a New England village that retains the flavor of
the old New England seacoast whaling villages and farming communities. The
common’s white clapboard church, the tallest building in town, looms over the center of
the green surrounded by old gravestones wreathed in a patina of lichen beneath
shading maples. Untroubled by civilization, the Commons is not unusual in this region
deliberately out of step with the modern world.
From there you can head for the west branch of the Westport River and then north
paralleling the river to Adamsville.
Legend has it that rum runners once rowed up the estuary in the dark of night to deliver
illegal whisky near the gristmill in an era that gave the town the name, Valley of Sin.
Lamplights line the street where two general stores, the Barn Restaurant, and several
gift shops surround the plaque honoring the region’s development of the Rhode Island
Red, a variety of rooster world renown.
