More of a village than a city, Wickford exemplifies the quaint, historic fishing towns that used to dot the Rhode Island coast and greater New England. Today, Wickford remains virtually untouched by commercialization.
Antique shops and boutiques line the streets, along with privately owned jewelry, clothing, and decorating stores. The widely acclaimed And the Beadz Go On, located on Main Street, attracts crowds from all over the state. The Wickford harbor holds an impressive number of boats and yachts as well as kayak rentals, lessons, and tours.
