Review:
Newport is almost completely surrounded by the ocean, and it is easy to see why generations of American aristocrats chose it as their summer getaway destination.
Newport is made up of nine individual coastal towns and is often called the “Sailing Capital of the World”, offering many things to see and do. You can take a stroll around some of the marinas to admire the impressive floating palaces and sporty racing yachts.
The Newport Cliff Walk is a National Recreational trail providing another way to uncover the essence of Newport – the walk combines the beauty of the coastline with the chance to see some of the famous Newport Mansions in the National Historic District.
Newport beaches offer great swimming and surfing, and you can hire kayaks and paddle boards from Newport Aquatic Center.
