Newport County, Rhode Island

Newport Location Map Rhode Island

Newport County is on the east side of Rhode Island, jutting out into the Atlantic. The mansions here are insane. Like, stupidly big and ornate. But Newport County isn’t all fancy-pants stuff.

There’s a naval base that’s a big deal for the local economy. The beaches are killer. Seriously, some of the best in New England. Newport’s got a crazy nightlife scene in the summer. Tourists everywhere.

The other towns are Middletown, Portsmouth, Tiverton, Little Compton. They’re a bit more low-key. Great for coastal vibes without the crowds. Jamestown is an island with awesome views of Narragansett Bay. Newport County’s got range, you know? Glitz and grit, all in one spot.
