In Narragansett, try Champlin’s or George's, just a mile away, for three kinds of chowder, fresh lobster and other seafood on wooden benches or outdoor patios and decks. For more upscale dining, Spain is a favorite of the locals, Turtle Soup has a dining room with a view of the ocean and a recently addition to the local restaurant scene, Trio brings a little bit of Newport panache to Narragansett.
Newport is active all year long with boutiques, galleries, restaurants and cafés. Tour the mansions, visit the International Tennis Hall of Fame, or walk the cliff walk.
Why not get away form the malls this holiday season to get your holiday shopping done? Spend the day shopping in Newport in a much more enjoyable setting than your local mall. Tour the mansions specially decorated in traditional 19th century Christmas style. Why not meet your extended family at our home to exchange gifts and holiday greetings in a special location.
Enjoy bike riding, kayaking, golf, or a walk on the beach. For a casual bike ride, we have a variety of bikes available. If you are a golfer, here is a listing of local public courses. If you like to kayak, the surrounding area (Point Judith Pond) is an ideal location. And there’s always a good stiff breeze if you enjoy windsurfing or kite flying.
