Nice pics! I was born and raised in Newport. Great place to grow up. Free dived/spearfished every nook and cranny along the ocean drive and cliff walk. Miss that place.....

Yes, WGG - I think my wife put some filter on that pic.... she likes playing with the photos. Definitely looked bluer to me too.

The ride over the series of 2 Bridges is just Wow.Newport and Gov.Pell are about 5 miles over Beautiful Coastline.
If on Track mode??You would be replacing rims.
The Mansion's are another WOW
A must Visit to believe


Point Judith LH Narragansett


Ocean Drive NP


Found this at one of the Dead Ends NP

Did you stop at the two Car museums?
Or the Tennis hall of fame?

Castle Hill is a great place to eat overlooks the entrance to New Port harbor.
