Brenton Point
State Park
Occupying the former grounds of one of Newport's grandest
estates, Brenton Point State Park affords its visitors one of the
most commanding and spectacular views on the East Coast. The park is
located at the point of land where Narragansett Bay meets the
Atlantic, midway along renowned Ocean Drive. Visitors can enjoy
picnicking, hiking, fishing, or just relaxing with the cool breezes
and majestic views of the Atlantic.
