Newport bustles all year long. Famous for its colonial and maritime history, the gilded age, a rich literary heritage, music festivals, yachting and tennis, Newport draws visitors from all over the world.

Tourism is its primary industry and so it lives up to its expectations with fine restaurants, boutiques, a varied array of musical concerts, a film festival, art shows and galleries.

Residents and tourists enjoy strolling through quaint shops, the cliff walk, beautiful sandy beaches, and a dramatic rocky coastline. And of course there is just about every kind of boat ride you can envision, readily available to the public

   

The architecture is varied and spans every period of American history. Each neighborhood maintains its own unique flavor and everyone is sure that theirs is the best. The natives are friendly and the population diverse. The streets and sidewalks are crowded all summer, but most everyone is grateful for what Newport has to offer and is willing to share it.

Population: 26,475
Total households: 11,566
