About

Jamestown

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!

Jamestown Weather

The average high temperature in July is 77.6 degrees, with an average low temperature in January of 22.6 degrees. The annual precipitation is 46.

Getting Around...

Transportation

Jamestown is essentially an island, so there are fairly limited options for getting in, out, or around town. Route 138 connects Jamestown to Newport (via Newport Bridge) and North Kingstown (via Jamestown Bridge) on either side. It’s a very high-traffic highway because it’s the main way for travelers to cross Rhode Island from South County to Newport County. Route 138 has two exit points and on-ramps in Jamestown — Helm Street / Beacon Avenue on the west side and East Shore Road on the east side.

Beavertail Road: crosses over Mackerel Cove to the Beavertail portion of the island. It’s the only main road that will take you to Beavertail State Park and the lighthouse & museum.

East Shore Road / Conanicus Ave: runs along the eastern shore of Jamestown along the northern portion of the island and connects to Conanicus Ave below the Rt. 138 express way. Continues south through Jamestown Harbor and ends at Fort Wetherill State Park.

North Main Road: runs directly through the middle of Jamestown north to south. It’s the easiest and fastest way to travel to town center from the northern end of the island. It also connects nearly every neighborhood besides the Beavertail portion of Jamestown.
