Newport is a fascinating town - two bridges to the East (20 minutes) that provides historic waterfronts, great restaurants, and so much more. It is the sailing capital of America that combines the Cottages (aka mansions) of the early 1900s with breathtaking views of the ocean along the Cliff Walk trail. So much to do here.
