In Newport, considered by many as the Sailing Capital of the World, you may wish to explore Cliff Walk. Here, between the Atlantic’ s pounding surf and sprawling lawns, sit the famed Gilded Age mansions that were once the summer playgrounds for socialite families such as the Astors and Vanderbilts.
