The Tiny Rhode Island Town Best For Spotting Famous Faces

Looking to have a celebrity encounter? Then you don't have to travel far.

While most people probably think of Los Angeles and New York City as hot spots for star sightings, it seems you have a better chance to seeing someone famous much closer to home.

Sure, the SouthCoast has had its fair share of celebrities stop by, but it's apparently nothing compared to the famous faces you'll find in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

Using popular celebrity sighting Instagram accounts and tracking 42 cities around the globe stars like to frequent, Casino.org says little old Watch Hill offers your best chance of a celebrity sighting (per capita) of anywhere in the world.

It's presumably all thanks to Taylor Swift, with a little help from Rhode Island's tiny size.

Ever since Swift bought her "Holiday House" in 2013, the number of A-listers that have come to the Ocean State has grown massively.

From her famous Fourth of July parties over the years to this past summer's birthday barbeque for bestie Blake Lively, a laundry list of celebrities have come and gone from Watch Hill.

Add to that Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey's sports star-studded wedding at the Ocean House in Watch Hill last summer, and Rhode Island ranking as No. 1 worldwide for celebrity sightings doesn't seem that all that strange.

Of course, since most of these celebrity sightings are at a distance while the celebs hang out at Taylor Swift's house, they aren't exactly your chance to get a selfie with your favorite star. But you never know who you might see next spending time in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
