Quonset Point

Spend half a day at Quonset Point: bike the Quonset Path, visit the Air Museum, then relax at a nearby golf course.

Quonset Point is a small industrial peninsula in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Its main draws are the Quonset Air Museum, a bike path along the waterfront, and two golf courses. With a car or bike you can see the highlights in a few hours, so one day is enough.
