Six Must-See Sites in Newport, Rhode Island.

In the past, New Yorkers visited Newport in Rhode Island and built “summer cottages” along the coastline. The area soon became renowned, as the cottages portrayed royalty and nobility.

Newport is currently famous for its historically rich scenic sites, which include The Grand Mansions, Brenton Point State Park, Ocean Drive, and so on. Let’s get a quick overview of trolley tours of the Scenic Sites in Newport.

1.     Ocean Drive

The stunning coastal view stretches for about 10 miles, revealing magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean, and this 10-mile drive is mostly adjacent to the coast of Aquidneck Island.

You can relish the breathtaking views of the ocean as well as spend your time in activities such as a trolley tour of the famous ten-mile ocean drive, bike riding, kite-flying, fishing, and having a small picnic with friends and family.

2.     Ida Lewis Yacht Club

With the beautiful scenic sites in Newport in the background, a comfortable yachting session with family, and a delicious Hi-Tea are all you need this summer to relive your life the best way you can.

3.     Fort Adams State Park

After crossing the Yacht Club, the next major attraction on your right will be Fort Adams State Park. Fort Adams has three areas of interest: the Museum of Yachting, Sail Newport, and President Eisenhower’s summer White House.

4.    Castle Inn & Resort

Looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon? There are many tours available in the area, but maybe you want to take a moment to relax. Castle Inn & Resort awaits with a delicious brunch and a beautiful view!

5.     Brenton Point State Park

This Park is built where you can enjoy the views of the ocean. You can sip on a beverage from the lemonade stand and breathe in the salty air for as long as you like.

6.     Hazards, Gooseberry, and Bailey’s Beaches

Who doesn’t like a little privacy in the most heavenly places on earth? Newport has some exclusive, exquisite, and private beaches, especially for you. The beaches are open to the public, but the facilities are only available to the club members, so keep that in mind.
