Newport, Rhode Island is one of those rare places where everything exceeds your expectations!

The town is absolutely over run with opulent mansions. History oozes from every cobblestone and lamp post. All the old buildings and historic sites have been lovingly restored. There truly is water water everywhere - it’s an island - with sleek boats and stunning coastlines in all directions.

There seems to be an exhibition, show, festival, fair, feast, concert, sporting event, story time, re-enactment, party, parade, picnic, play, guided walk, tour, tasting, ball, race or celebration of some kind nearly every day. And many of the most interesting and entertaining ones are inexpensive or free. Check out all the Newport Events here.

You have an astonishing array of lodging from which to choose. During your visit, try a Newport Rhode Island Bed and Breakfast for a taste of the elegance of the Gilded Age and to actually live in the atmosphere and history of of this unique New England Seaport.

You’ll certainly want to try some of the fresh seafood the East Coast is famous for, as well. A good place to start is Bannister’s Wharf, where you’ll find 3 restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining, along with dancing in the Boom Boom Room.
