Jamestown is a beautiful, secluded town located on Conanicut Island, just east of Newport. It’s well-known for its iconic Beavertail Lighthouse and miles of waterfront properties across the entire island. Jamestown is a tight-knit community with a small population. The downtown and harbor area has great seafood restaurants, gift shops, and walkable amenities. It’s also very accessible to Newport and the South Shore (just across the bridge on either side of the island). Jamestown has the second lowest residential tax rate in Rhode Island, making their waterfront properties some of the best available in the state. Plus, the views of Narragansett’s East and West passages are incomparable!
