Why Portsmouth & Newport

Portsmouth sits on Aquidneck Island just a few miles from Newport’s Gilded Age mansions, cobblestoned streets, and famous Cliff Walk, with the town itself offering a quieter, more residential pace — historic neighborhoods, a local farmer’s market, and 56 miles of shoreline. The Battle of Rhode Island was fought here in 1778, and today Portsmouth’s farms, marinas, and the Newport Polo grounds at Glen Farm add real local character just minutes from the busier Newport waterfront.
