  • Self guided tour on a winters day in February, no traffic, beautiful views, mansions, ocean. It was gorgeous. We went back the second day to look at it all over again.

  • Loved our self guided coastal drive along the rugged coast line. The views were incredible. The only downfall, wish we could’ve stayed in the Newport area longer.

  • It was a rainy day in fall! Still the drive was beautiful. So many amazing and historic mansions and beautiful beach houses! We thoroughly enjoyed our drive. Pretty relaxing!
  • One of the coolest drives I've got to experience. Coastline is absolutely beautiful and surreal experience. Definitely not something you typically see on the East Coast.
