Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Beach getaway

Yeah, I agree, I was pretty much just thinking of Route 2 where one'd be closest to the roads going to the beaches, etc. - and it was also why I gave the reference to Garden City in Nassau County just to give her an idea.

But you're right, it is more sprawl than anything.

I think south of East Greenwich in one of the "charming towns" sounds about right. If I wanted to do a day trip to Watch Hill, that would be possible too.

By comparison, Warwick is mostly suburban sprawl with some very quaint areas as well.

Exactly! These aren't exactly vacation destinations. I'd rather pay a little more for the lodging and be right where I wanted to be(Narragansett/Charleston/Watch Hill/ Westerly) rather than After all it is just for 4 days and you are on "vacation". Why not treat yourself to a whole vacation package including staying in the vacation area and not having to commute back and forth to it?
