A slice of New England
Perched on the tip of Rhode Island, Little Compton embodies quaint New England charm. The close-knit community is brimming with character, from its wood-framed houses to its white-steepled churches.

As well as letting you dive into the New England narrative, Little Compton is a fantastic place to enjoy a coastal escape.
Discover the Mayflower story in Little Compton
Built in the 17th century, Wilbor House was home to one of America's most prominent New England settlers. Today you can admire period furnishings in the carriage house, wander around the barn, and get a feel for what life was like in early America. If you're enjoying the history theme, Old Commons Burial Ground is the final resting place of local heroine Elizabeth Pabodie, the first Mayflower settler born in New England. The quaint United Congregational Church watches over the graveyard and has been welcoming worshipers for more than 300 years.
Beachcombing in Little Compton
From relaxing walks to leisurely bike rides, exploring the village is all part of the fun. After working up an appetite why not stop by a local cafe for New England classics like corned beef, stuffed clams and savory Johnnycakes? While most of Little Compton's coastline is privately owned, Goosewing Beach is an exception to the rule. This rocky stretch of sand is a great place to swim, sunbathe, or beachcomb.
