Jamestown , Rhode Island is a town located on Conanicut Island, which is the second largest island in Narragansett Bay. As of the 2010 census, the population was 5,405. The town of Jamestown offers two waterfront state parks, marinas, a full-service market, galleries and specialty shops, coffee shops and restaurants. With Narragansett Bay all around the community, water sports are prime in Jamestown. In the early 1900s, Jamestown was a bustling summer resort community. However, a devastating hurricane along with a sharp decline in the golden era of large resort hotels resulted in a brief decline in tourist activity. The first Jamestown Bridge was opened in the summer of 1940, replacing part of the ferry service and making access continuously available to the island. In 1969, the Newport (Pell) Bridge was completed, establishing Route 138 as a continuous highway from South County to Newport. With its completion, traditional ferry service was eliminated. Things to do include fishing, boating, sailing, kayaking, hiking, bicycling, sightseeing and exploring historical sights. Be sure to bring your camera because at least eight lighthouses can be seen from Conanicut Island. One of them, Beavertail Light is an active lighthouse and also the site of a popular nature park. The original lighthouse was built in 1749, but was replaced with the current structure in 1856.
