Although it takes just 45 minutes to drive from one end of Rhode Island to the other, North America's smallest State offers more than 640km (400 miles) of coastline, broad sandy beaches, parks, cities and a wealth of historic attractions, all part of a state that is more than 60% woodlands. Rhode Island also offers a wide range of outdoor recreational activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and fly fishing. Providence underwent a major facelift in the 1990s that has resulted in the renaissance of Rhode Island 's capital city. Newport , a top sailing spot, is an all-seasons resort offering a beautiful harbor that is rich in colonial history, as well as white beaches and some splendid scenery. The State's scenic centerpiece, Narragansett Bay , is home to yachting regattas as well as a thriving fishing industry.
