elcome to beautiful Newport County, Rhode Island!
Newport, also known as ‘The City by the Sea,’ has been
one of America’s premier vacation destinations for centuries. When you began thinking of your trip to Newport
County, you probably knew you would find sandy beaches,
first-rate sailing and all the fine dining you could wish for.
Our 2012 Travel, Event and Wedding Planner will help
you navigate the many other attractions and features the
six towns in Newport County have to offer.
Over the years, many legendary architects, artists, writers,
tycoons, and famous characters have left their mark on
this little island and its surrounding towns. Newport has
more original historic structures from the 18th century than
any other city in America. The mansions along Bellevue
Avenue are incredible, opulent testimonies to the “Gilded
Age” of American industry. The East Bay is home to many
museums that tell the fascinating stories of the area’s history, arts and cultures - you never know what you’ll find
once you start exploring!
Our 2012 Travel, Event and Wedding Planner can serve
as your guide to Newport County and the East Bay region,
providing you with all of the trip-planning resources you
need - at your fingertips! Be sure to check out our Annual
Event Calendar at the end of the “Yellow Pages” to see what
types of exciting festivals, fairs, shows, and tours might be
happening in the area during your visit here. The region
also boasts scenic sporting venues and events, musical and
artistic offerings, as well as a vibrant nightlife scene.
We hope you take advantage of all that Newport County
has to offer!
