It’s…Rhode Island, what do you expect lol?
Reminds me of that Wayne’s world quote…”I’m in….Delaware.” |

Op here. Oddly, I absolutely loved Martha’s Vineyard FWIW. I enjoyed MV more than Nantucket and Cape Cod. |

| It is a go once or twice location, not a return to annually destination. |

Cape Cod beaches are the prettiest IMHO, but the water is a little too cool for me and I hear about too many sharks.. My favorite east coast beaches are on Cape Hatteras. |

Delawhere??? Yeah, it's the first state, but should not even be a state. It should be part of Maryland, as should Virginia's Eastern Shore. To be fair to Delaware, I like Fenwick Island and Bethany is OK. Other than that, when I think of Delaware, I think of Joe Biden- nice guy, decent President- especially if we're comparing to the current one. He just got in office too late, was too old. What I also think of regarding Delaware, and the reason I have contempt for it, is two tolls with an hour backup, to drive ten miles on 95. |

| Having gone to school near there and visited Newport many times, I agree. i really don't understand why people recommend it. the small downtown and shops are fine for a day but after that it is nothing special unless you are sailing. |

| The mansions can be fun to visit. Cliff Walk is lovely. Some lovely historic parts of the town. Great day trip destination. Wouldn't spend a week there. But what more were you expecting? |
