Also, the entire area is filled with historic homes of all types and architectural styles. Victorian, Colonial and Greek Revival styles are represented, as well as other 18th century structures.

Paradise Avenue, Berkeley Avenue, Wyatt Road, Mitchell's Lane, Wapping Road, Peckham Avenue, Indian Avenue and Hanging Rock Road make up the 8.3-mile scenic highway network. The roads form a loop that leads to the entrance of Sachuest Point on the Sakonnet River's entrance to the Atlantic Ocean.
