Hope Valley is a village in the town of Hopkinton in Washington County, Rhode Island. It is enriched with outdoor activities like hiking, canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, walking on the beach and much more. The area, commonly known as South County, is known for its resorts on Block Island and Narragansett Bay. There's a state airport at Westerly, the Narragansett Indian Reservation at Charlestown, and the University of Rhode Island at Kingston are also here.

The result was a cozy community, a land of stunning vistas and a very fragile ecosystem that has been preserved for all to share. Because of the particular forces of nature that went to work on Block Island, no other place on earth shares its geography, nor its balance of species. Block Island is a rarity in another sense. It is a place that moves at its own pace and is known for a relaxed way of life. It's where "dressed up" means a pair of shorts. Islanders speak of going to the mainland as going "off island" - an expression of the feeling that Block Island is its own entity, as unique as the North Light or the 250-foot bluffs.

From Napatree Point to Rome Point, the southern Rhode Island shoreline is a festival of natural beauty as well as birding and wildlife viewing. Dazzling birds put on a show throughout South County as they begin their migration, winging their way to winter grounds. Seals sun themselves on beaches and rock formations. Farther out to sea, whales flirt with whale watchers as they cruise by. Picture an area of sweeping, shimmering beaches, bordered by blue ocean, scenic drives through shoreline villages and picture-postcard vistas. South County's reputation for coastal beauty precedes itself. With 100 miles of breathtaking coastline, you can't miss the jewels in Southern Rhode Island's crown. From tame, foot high, family friendly waves to pristine stretches of sand, it's a serene song to those seeking rejuvenation.
