Arrive in Newport, and meet your local tour guide at the Visitors Center for a narrated tour of 10 Mile Ocean Drive. This roadway is literally 10 miles of spectacular wide-open views of the Atlantic Ocean and miles of magnificent million dollar mansions. In this historic part of Newport, this roadway first leads you down Bellevue Avenue. There
you will find mansions such as The Breakers and Rosecliff, among many others. Continuing South of Bellevue Avenue the roadway then winds down closer to Newport's waterfront and to the most elite private properties.

After the tour, visit The Breakers Mansion, the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn of the century America.

Lunch on your own and shopping at the Brick Marketplace. Over four acres of shops, boutique stores and food vendors.
