📍 Destination Overview
Newport, at the south end of Rhode Island's Aquidneck Island, is famed for its gilded-age cliff mansions; the Vanderbilt estates The Breakers and Marble House are magnificent. Its Cliff Walk, some five kilometres along Narragansett Bay, takes in mansions and ocean views. A century-long home of the America's Cup, it also offers the Tennis Hall of Fame and seaside parks.
