Visiting an ocean community like South County, RI in the winter can be a truly peaceful experience, especially for city dwellers. Tired of trudging through the snow-lined streets and dealing with public transportation or heavy traffic on your daily commute? South County feels like a world away even though we're closer than you think. And while we still have winter, once you are in South County, everything moves a little slower, you can let the anxiety and the stress go and inhale the fresh air. Take a walk on a long stretch of sandy beach and you'll encounter friendly locals walking their equally friendly dogs. For every minute you spend enjoying nature there's a place to go warm up with a hot cup of coffee, hot chocolate or a toasty winter cocktail by a cozy fireplace. Here are some delicious ways for foodies to enjoy South County this  month.
