Ocean State Honeymoons: Romantic Getaways Close to Home
A honeymoon often brings to mind far- flung, exotic destinations. But some newlyweds are staying closer to home—finding that the Ocean State offers a range of experiences that rival more distant locales. With more than 400 miles of coastline, Rhode Island combines coastal beauty, historic character and a well- developed hospitality industry into a setting suited for a romantic escape. Newport: Classic Romance by the Sea Newport, long synonymous with leisure and romance, remains central to the state’s honeymoon appeal. The city’s blend of Gilded Age grandeur and seaside charm offers couples a balance of activity and relaxation. Strolls along the Cliff Walk—a 3.5-mile public access path that traces the shoreline past historic estates—provide sweeping Atlantic views, while tours
of landmark properties managed by The Preservation Society of Newport County connect visitors to the region’s architectural history. Newport Harbor anchors the experience, with sunset sails and waterfront dining creating a natural rhythm to the day. The city’s concentration of luxury hotels and boutique inns allows couples
to tailor their stay, whether they prefer a full-service resort or a more intimate guesthouse. Block Island: Seclusion and Natural Beauty For couples seeking a quieter retreat, Block Island offers a distinctly removed experience just 12 miles off the mainland. Accessible by ferry
