Review:

Brenton Point State Park is located where Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet about midway along Newport’s famous Ocean Drive.

The park occupies the grounds of what was once Hammersmith Farm, one of the most impressive private estates in Newport, and consequently offers some of the best views you are likely to find anywhere in Rhode Island.

You can stop by to admire the views and lovely gardens as you make your way along Ocean Drive or you can make a day of it and bring a picnic basket to enjoy at one of the picnic sites dotted beneath the shady trees. Fishing and hiking are also available on site.
