Clinging to Aquidneck Island’s southern rim, the road strings together wave‑pounded cliffs, glass‑calm coves, and unfettered Atlantic horizons, free of charge except for the fuel (or pedal power) you bring. Every bend unveils another cinematic vista, from sail‑trimmed Narragansett Bay to sunsets that dye the sky molten gold.
