City - Newport

Newport lies at the southern end of Aquidneck Island in Narragansett Bay, about 30 miles southeast of Providence. Known for its exceptional sailing, Gilded Age mansions, and seaside spots, Newport is regarded as a New England summer resort town. Once a major Colonial seaport in the British Empire before the American Revolution, Newport is now a world-class destination filled with pristine beaches, yachting, golfing, fine art and architecture, state parks, and authentic historical sites.

Newport is best experienced from its historic walking areas of Ocean Drive and Cliff Walk, where its famous mansions and sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean are on display. Newport residents enjoy access to many annual events such as the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Newport International Boat Show, and Newport Oyster Festival. Should you crave the bustle of city life, Boston is less than a two hour’s drive away.
