Newport, Rhode Island

Population: 26,475

Abounding with scenic views of the Pacific Ocean and Narragansett Bay, Newport is a town built around lives of opulence and privilege. Palatial Gilded Age mansions dot the coastline, and tours of the Vanderbilt family's The Breakers and the exquisite Chateau-sur-Mer give a taste of late-19th century luxury. Running along the rocky coastline and past the town's gorgeous mansions is the 3.5-mile Cliff Walk, which affords stunning views of the ocean and exploration of local wildlife. Seafood dominates Newport's regional cuisine, and the Black Pearl on Bannister's Wharf is a favorite for its clam chowder and lobster dishes. From chartered yacht cruises to high-end boutique shopping, Newport caters to those who want to experience turn-of-the century elegance for a few days.
