Aquidneck Island - Newport RI
1/800th - f/7.1 - iso400 - 28mm
Since its establishment by English colonists in 1639, the city of Newport has bustled with diversity. Its founders established a policy of liberty of conscience and religion that became a beacon to many in the Atlantic world. Settlers with wide-ranging religious beliefs co-existed in the rapidly growing settlement, unaware that their town's religious diversity was a prototype for the America to come.
Perhaps the most attractive characteristic of Newport is the ability that the destination has to appeal to a variety of traveling styles. Newport is home to miles of scenic coastline ideal for exhilarating sailing excursions, relaxing beach time, and rejuvenating walks.
For those whose heart lies in architecture, design, and history Newport offers tours of opulent mansions, interesting museums, and a number of walking tours that reveal the history and charm of the city. For a mouth-watering getaway, visitors can enjoy a tour and tasting at the three local vineyards followed by a memorable dining experience at a waterfront restaurant.
For visitors looking to take a bit of Newport style home with them, the city’s quaint wharves and cobblestone streets are a mix of unique shops and galleries. Complementing it all is a year-round calendar of special events ranging from nautical events to music festivals to professional sports tournaments, ensuring that there is always something happening in Newport!
