Newport, RI

Newport Rhode Island

The wealthiest Newport families built their Gilded Age mansions on Narragansett Bay for a reason. Spectacular ocean views and world-class sailing make the area feel lush.

Stop at the nearby beaches or take the Cliff Walk that wends along the sea to enjoy the best of the area. For even more sandy beaches, head in the direction of Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge an accessible nature preserve.
