Located in the heart of Rhode Island\u2019s Classic Coast, Newport is a town of beautiful contradictions. Both historic and modern, it\u2019s home to incredible Colonial and Gilded Age architecture and historical landmarks, as well as miles of stunning New England coastline, family-friendly beaches, world-class resorts, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considered a shining gem of the New England coastal region, visitors come year-round to explore all that this City by the Sea has to offer. Sailing<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is huge here, and rightly so. The town\u2019s ties to the Americas Cup<\/strong><\/a>, as well as its location on the spectacular Narragansett Bay, make it a popular vacation spot for anyone who loves to sail, wants to learn to sail, or just wants to enjoy the views of Newport\u2019s famous coastline on one of the dozens of boat tours offered here daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another draw is tennis. The first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championship<\/strong><\/a>\u2014a tournament that later evolved into the U.S. Open<\/strong><\/a>\u2014was played in Newport in 1881. Today, tennis fans from around the world come to tour the International Tennis Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/a>, watch the annual Hall of Fame Open<\/strong><\/a>, or play on the Tennis Club\u2019s famous courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those less inclined to sports, Newport still has much to offer\u2014whether you\u2019re traveling with friends, vacationing with family, or enjoying a romantic couple\u2019s getaway\u2014as well as plenty of beautiful B&Bs, historic inns, and boutique hotels<\/a><\/strong> in which to base your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The elegant Chanler at Cliff Walk<\/strong><\/a>, with manicured gardens and serene ocean views; the romantic Ivy Lodge Bed & Breakfast<\/strong><\/a>, set in a beautifully restored 19th century mansion with a grand, oak-paneled entry hall; and the artsy Cliffside Inn<\/a><\/strong>, a boutique hotel with a large wrap-around porch and luxurious rooms are just a few of the excellent\u2014and historic\u2014options to consider if you\u2019re looking for unique accommodations that are convenient to some of Newport\u2019s best shops, restaurants, and attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re ready to get out and explore, make sure to do the famous Cliff Walk trail<\/a><\/strong>, a 3.5-mile walk with breathtaking views of the shoreline on one side and the spectacular Newport Mansions<\/a><\/strong> on the other. Head over to the bustling waterfront area<\/a><\/strong> for shopping, lunch, and sightseeing. Visit local museums<\/a><\/strong> and take a self-guided tour<\/a><\/strong> of the mansions. Or enjoy a stroll along the beach<\/a><\/strong> if the weather is nice. Newport is a walkable town, making it easy to get from one place to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At night, enjoy dinner at any of the town\u2019s amazing restaurants. The Landing<\/a><\/strong> is a good choice for casual dining and offers indoor\/outdoor seating and harbor views. Or try the award-winning Bouchard Restaurant<\/a><\/strong> if you\u2019re in the mood for upscale French fare. Wrap up the evening with a taste of Newport\u2019s buzzing nightlife scene at the Clarke Cooke House\u2019s exclusive (and seasonal) Sky Bar<\/a><\/strong> or the more accessible Tavern on Broadway<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
