Rhode Island may be small in size, but not in excitement and if you love the sea, flowers and/or history, Rhode Island has great choices for a June Summer Escape Weekend. The events are all in Newport, one of the most famous of the sea side communities, a long time summer destination of the rich and famous and everyone else. With June being just warm enough to enjoy the waterside activities, the flowers in bloom and most of the summer people not here yet, June in Newport Rhode Island is a great family friendly place to be. And you just might fall so much in love with Rhode Island, that you will make plans to come back in the future for a longer stay. Great things go on all year long. These summer weekend escapes are just the beginning.
