Coastweeks 2007: Big event you've never heard of

Today might be a good day to hit the Coast. The sun is shining, the temperature is right, and Coastweeks 2007 is in full swing.

The nationwide event is sponsored in Rhode Island by the Rhode Island Coastal Resource Management Council and the Rhode Island Sea Grant.

The celebration of coastal resources and history is offering a 75-minute cruise of Rhode Island lighthouses by Gansett Cruises. The $20 cruises will be offered every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during Coastweeks.

Or take a tour on the Blackstone Valley Explorer. For $8 to $10, every Sunday passengers can take a guided tour and learn about the architecture, mill history and French Canadian history of Woonsocket between the Thundermist Dam and the Massachusetts border.

Beach cleanups, book discussions, boating, hiking, and aquaculture tours will all be offered throughout Coastweeks, which runs until Oct.15.

See the full schedule of events here.
