    An island that never…read morechanges I love going to Prudence island. The little ferry from Bristol is inexpensive and just the trip itself pretty nice. For some fortunate reason the island was never really developed which is shocking considering how beautiful it is. There are some houses but I don't think many people stay there year round and any kids probably end up going to Portsmouth for school. We love to bike around the island because even in the summer the traffic is light to nonexistent. Not very many paved roads so a mountain bike is necessary but you can make it around the whole island in a few hours. It even has a cute little lighthouse that you can walk right up to. The views around the island are just spectacular and in many spots it seems you are the only people on the island. An absolutely wild and unspoiled place that always seems fresh no matter how many times we go out there. About the only negative thing about the island is that ticks also seem to enjoy it and repellent is a must. No, there's not much out there, and that is what makes it so great. There is a small store by the ferry landing to buy junk food and drinks but nothing else. That is why Prudence is so special.

    Prudence Island is really good at what it's good for, but really not good at most everything else…read more For example, day trips! Not a great idea. It's okay, but really only if you can bike it. It's too big to comfortably walk in a few hours. And a mountain bike is a must; most of the roads are unpaved. Those that are paved, the pavement is very old and pock marked. There's some bike rental places in Bristol a short walk from the ferry dock. There's very little in the way of specific things to do. Mostly you'd just bike around the perimeter to enjoy the view of Narragansett Bay. If something that simple is enough for you? You'll love it! If you want ANYTHING more, you'll be disappointed. Watch out for ticks, too. They're EVERYWHERE. Your dog will have a ball but be prepared to pull a lot of ticks off them. And your kids. And you. Don't wimp out: use the hardcore extra-DEET bugspray and use it liberally all over your entire body & clothes. There are literally no shops nor restaurants. At all. It's almost hard to believe but there it is. There's a small general store with limited food and some curios, that's it. It's usually open only when the ferry arrives. There's also no public bathrooms on the island. NONE. I'm dead serious here. Hit the "head" on the ferry right before you arrive because that's the last place you'll have to "go" (unless you find some bushes) until you leave. The ferry runs five or six times a day from Bristol. It's very reasonably priced (esp if you're not bringing a car) but has a lot of trouble with high winds on the Bay. Don't schedule things too tightly or you can get stranded pretty easily. And there's no hotels or anything like that whatsoever, although the locals are generally pretty friendly and odds are good someone could put you up for the night. A much, much better way to go is to rent a place for a week and plan to do nothing but relax, watch the water, maybe some fishing. Watch the sun rise, hang out all day, go to bed at sunset. Cook your own meals (epic grilling!) and read some books. Watch the birds. That's it. But if raising the concept of doing nothing to an artform is not your idea of a splendid week? I'd recommend going elsewhere. FWIW, the weekly rental rates aren't bad; way better than Block Island or The Vineyard. But they're reflecting the more "simple" lifestyle and lack of amenities. And the "hassle" of having to buy all your food on the mainland and hoof it with you on the ferry, then cook everything yourself. Cellphone service is decent to good, depending on which side of the island you're on; you're picking it up from towers on the mainland or Portsmouth. Home internet is very iffy. Bring a 4G hotspot if you absolutely need internet access. (it kinda violates the spirit of the island though) There's no cable TV, either; some houses get directv/satellite TV. Regular over the air TV is not bad with a good rooftop antenna. All in all, it's a great place for what it is, and a very not-good place for what it isn't. Bear that in mind and you'll have a good time, otherwise, you'll know to go to Block Island or The Cape.

    Bristol Ferry Lighthouse - Needed some love

    Bristol Ferry Lighthouse

    Bridges straits and…read morelights The strait between Narragansett Bay and Mount Hope Bay is only about 600 yards wide with a couple of small islands, sand bars and rocks thrown in for interest. A dangerous place to sail through at the best of times and very interesting in foggy or bad weather. So it was recognized a long time ago that some help for mariners would be nice and a small lighthouse was built here in 1855. Only about 30 feet tall and had a small 6th order Fresnel lens that was later upgraded to a 5th order lens. The light not only helped the boats get through the strait but also assisted the Bristol Ferry than ran across the treacherous area. A very useful little lighthouse that did it's job well and prevented many accidents. Then in 1927 the hulking Mount Hope Bridge was built between Bristol and Aqidneck Island so both the ferry and the lighthouse were no longer needed. The huge bridge served as a great navigational aide, as long as the boats didn't run into it or course. The lighthouse remained but since it isn't easy to see from land it was forgotten and slowly fell into a rather sorry condition. Paint was chipping off and it definitely needed so TLC. Fortunately some great new owners spent time restoring the lighthouse to it's former cute little self and now sits proudly under the huge bridge. It's private and never open to the public but good views can be seen from the water or by the landing under the bridge. This is a residential house so don't get too close and respect their privacy. The combination of the looming bridge, cool straits and lovely little lighthouse makes for a very special place indeed.

    Friends in town and wanted a nice relaxing place to enjoy a meal. Not too busy for a midweek night…read more Had both bar or table seating available for quick seating. Sandy was our amazing server, provided great recommendations and very attentive to her respective tables. Cocktails were great, antipasto was a great start not too much to leave room for the main and desert! The focaccia was light and flavorful as well. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. Nearly licked the plate clean! Saved a little room for desert with both cakes being tasty and washed down with an espresso martini. Lovely place to have a date night or night out with friends!

    The ambience is very nice in here & I got sat right away. The wine menu was confusing because when…read moreI asked the waitress about the white wines per glass she said only 3 were available. She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!

    Like other Yelpers have said this is a sculpture of a large fork at an actual fork in the road…read more During the summer someone places a hotdog in a bun on the fork which really indicates that summer has arrived.

    A MUST DO! A FREE EVENT & FREE PARKING! You know that the East Coast is bound by the Atlantic Ocean…read more& the West Coast is bound by the Pacific Ocean. Did you know that the 2 coasts are also bound by 2 Giant Forks? One is standing upright & the other one is standing upside down. You've heard that expression take a right or left at the Fork in the Road. Well they've taken that geographical driving instruction, that's also a culinary eating utensil & turned it into a wooden statue. This is one of The Secret Hidden Gems of America that most people have never been to or even heard about before. The Giant Fork in the Road is 11 foot tall & is located in Westport Massachusetts which is about an hour outside of Boston. This Funky Flatware Art Piece was built in 2010 by Tom Schmitt. The 11 Foot Tall Giant Wooden Fork resides at the intersection of River & Old Harbor Roads in Westport. It is made out of white pine & painted silver to resemble metal. Tom's wife Kate was totally behind the project as well. Now as Cool as this sculpture is, they do something Special for the Holidays here. On the 4th of July they topped the Fork with a 6 Foot High Hot Dog. On Valentine's Day it's decorated with hearts. On Christmas it wears a Santa's Hat. We Americans Love our Wacky Road Side Attractions! LOL! Now the Fork Saga doesn't end here, it continues onward. If you travel West my friend for a mere 3,000 miles, well 2,986 miles to be exact, you will stumble upon the other Fork in the Road on the West Coast. The Pasadena California Statue stands at 18 feet tall with its prongs standing downwards. So the West Coast Giant Fork is Straight Down; The East Coast Giant Fork is Straight Up. The Fork Saga doesn't end there it continues onward again. There are some other Giant Forks around the country located in San Diego, Kentucky, Oregon, New York & the largest one is in Missouri. They all have their individual stories that need to be told by someone. So if you're in the Massachusetts/ Rhode Island area check out this Fork in the Road spot. Also to make it worth your trip, there's a great ice cream shop about 15 minutes away. It's called The Eskimo King in Swansea MA. It has over 350 flavors of ice cream & has been dishing out sweat treats since 1957. They also have a special retro mascot. You can read my review & more details of that place as well. Now since I visited here in Westport word is the Fork sculpture was stolen but luckily it has been recovered in Rhode Island. The Police are investigating & The Fork Bandits are still at Large. These Giant Forks in the Road really put a Smile on People's Faces. Everybody gets out of their vehicle & takes a picture. Do you have a Fork in the Road in your state? It would be great to have one in each of the 50 states & territories too. Well Have Fun on your Adventures & Culinary Travels & as I always say "MayThe Fork Be With You"! LOL! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!
