Newport, Rhode Island
Clifftop walks, beaches and sailing
From the yacht-filled harbor to the gilded mansions of Bellevue Avenue, there is plenty to marvel at in beautiful Newport. Summer brings the town alive with seafront parades and events, while at all times of year families flock for sailing, beaches and fantastic restaurants. The 3.5 mile clifftop walk by the city's mansions and beaches is the town's ultimate must-do with kids.
