its only a short trip you can do it in one day
would have to know how long you plan to this trip to be

We lived in RI for almost 4 years and our favorite spot was always Beavertail State Park in Jamestown, right over the bridge from Newport. Climbing the rocks over by the lighthouse was always fun and you felt like you were "away from it all". There are also many other beach coves to discover. The park is free.
Fort Adams is also interesting, with the many tunnels to explore.
The cemeteries are so old. Many markers are dated back to before the 1600′s.
The beaches are also free, though you have to pay to park.
