"At the picture-perfect coastal Rhode Island inn I was introduced to Teddy Beahm, the resident naturalist whose deep knowledge and laidback antics animate a wide range of year-round programs. Guests can join seal-spotting expeditions, Jeep tours on the beach to learn about Rhode Island's glacial formation, stargazing sessions, private pond ecology lessons, and nautical knot-making workshops at this Forbes Five-Star hideaway. Beahm notes that attendance at the naturalist programs has grown by at least 68% this year as travelers seek deeper connections with place and nature." - Perri Ormont Blumberg Perri Ormont Blumberg Perri Ormont Blumberg is a New York City-born-and-based writer.
