Popular, historic summer theater with surrounding gardens features professional, Broadway-style performances from May to September. Restaurant and post theatre-cabaret.

Lighthouses: The 3rd one in America. We could also take a boat tour of several ones.

The 1938 hurricane uncovered the original base of the third lighthouse established in America (1749), an interesting example of early Colonial stonework. The present granite tower, just north of the original light, was erected in 1856. The point also offers spectacular views of Rhode Island's Atlantic coastline. The assistant keepers quarters houses a museum featuring a fourth order fresnel lens, models of many RI lighthouses and a pictorial history of RI lighthouses.

Mansion: The Breakers is the most spectacular of them.

A National Historic Landmark. Newport's most palatial summer residence was built (1893-1895) for Cornelius Vanderbilt II by Richard Morris Hunt. The symmetry of design, opulence and lavish use of alabaster, marble, mosaics and antique woods rival the magnificent northern Italian Renaissance palaces after which it was modeled. The seventy-room mansion overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Children's cottage.

Fort Adams: Historical and Jazz Fest.
