Family Road Trippin': The Best of New England
#6: Cliff Walk, Newport, RI
As the sailing — and mansion — capital of the nation, Newport has a glitzy reputation, but its spectacular summer groove is inviting to all, and perfect for families. Want to laze at the beach or gaze at the mansions? Do both! Take the 3.5-mile Cliff Walk, which winds along a path offering rocky ocean views on one side, famous estates such as The Breakers and Rosecliff on the other. Older kids in particular will enjoy a taste of the "The Great Gatsby" life with a look inside either of these, while younger ones will just enjoy expending their energy in one of New England's true gems of a town.
