It was better 15-20 years ago now its too dense.

Totally get it OP! The less people in New England during the summer = the better!

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?

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.

Reminds me of that Wayne’s world quote…”I’m in….Delaware.”

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.
