Fort Weatherill Tours

Check out Fort Weatherill and learn about its role in defending the area. This structure has witnessed some interesting history during its time.

This history-filled fortress is free to visit, so you can have a fun day out without spending all your cash. However, Fort Weatherill isn't the only thing to see in and around the seaside area of The Dumplings. With The Breakers, Fort Adams State Park and Rough Point within reach, you may be tempted to stay a little longer.

The resort is excellent with great amenities. However I had a bad experience during check-in. I had booked a 3BR condo for 3 nights in May, all the way back in Jan 2025. Upon checking in, I was told that the 3BR condo is not available and I had to wait 15-20 mins and was provided a 2BR condo. I was also told that I would receive a refund for the differential amount. However after checkout I didn’t receive any refund after multiple follow ups. Thus folks beware about what you are booking and what reservation you will get.
