Newport Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Carrie Nathans
  • Beat the bad-weather blues at Easton's Beach; when cool temps and fog prohibit swimming, a carousel and aquarium provide water-free fun.
  • Play rough in a rugby match at Fort Adams State Park, or enjoy a more quiet afternoon on a picnic overlooking Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.
  • Participate in live productions Thursdays and weekends at Firehouse Theater—comedians often involve the audience.
  • Tour historic New England architecture May through October at Prescott Farm. Guided tours are U.S. $5.00 for adults; children's admission is free.
