Review:
There are many unique things to see and do in Newport, RI, a seaside town just 60 miles south of Boston. Visit for the beaches and take a walk alongside the cliffs between the Atlantic Ocean and the storied mansions of Newport along the 3.5 mile long cliff walk route.
For a look inside the mansions, once the summer homes for the world’s most wealthy tycoons, tour the Vanderbilt Marble House or The Breakers.
The 10-mile long scenic Ocean Drive offers views of the harbor, dotted by ships, racing sailboats and luxurious yachts.
The Museum of Yachting is located at Fort Adams alongside The Eisenhower House for a multi-faceted look at history.
The Touro Synagogue, America’s oldest, was visited by George Washington while he was in town promoting the Bill of Rights.
