It has long been known as a popular New England summer resort, known for its' historic and beautiful "Newport Mansions." As of the 2010 census, the population was 24,672. Newport is also home to Salve Regina University and Naval Station Newport, which houses the U.S. Naval War College. Filled with history, the city of Newport contains one of the highest number of surviving Colonial buildings in the United States. Many of the mansions date to the Gilded Age, including The Breakers, Belcourt Castle, Chateau-sur-Mer, Rosecliff, and the William Watts Sherman House. Many of these historic homes are open for tours. Amid breathtaking coastal scenery, Newport is considered by many to be the "gem in the coastal crown of New England." It's known as the yachting capital of the world, and other recreational activities include golf, tennis, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and biking. In of 2013, Newport was designated a nationally recognized Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. Other things to see include museums, lighthouses and interesting sites such as the White Horse Tavern, built in 1673 and considered to be one of the oldest surviving taverns in the U.S. Newport is also home to several festivals throughout the year, including the Newport Jazz Festival, the Newport Folk Festival, and the Newport International Film Festival. One of the most well-known attractions in the city is the Newport Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile public access walkway along the shoreline that's been designated a National Recreation Trail. This is just a small sample of all that Newport, Rhode Island has to offer - a gem of the New England coastal cities.
