Private Sunset Cruise Aboard Camelot in Newport

Discover historic Jamestown, a charming coastal town set on Conanicut Island in the heart of Narragansett Bay. This island is the second-largest in the bay, known for its scenic shorelines, maritime heritage, and relaxed New England character. Directly across the water lies Aquidneck Island—home to Newport—which is the largest island in Narragansett Bay and a major hub of history, sailing culture, and waterfront attractions. Positioned between the mainland and Aquidneck Island, Jamestown offers a unique vantage point within the bay. Connected by bridges on both sides, it combines peaceful island living with easy access to Newport’s vibrant harbor and historic landmarks. As you explore the area, you’ll experience the natural beauty and geography that define Narragansett Bay—where these two prominent islands shape the region’s maritime landscape and long-standing coastal traditions.

Discover the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge, an iconic suspension bridge spanning Narragansett Bay between Jamestown and Newport. Opened on June 28, 1969, the bridge replaced long-standing ferry services and quickly became a vital gateway to Aquidneck Island and Newport’s historic waterfront. Today, the bridge remains one of Rhode Island’s most recognizable landmarks, offering sweeping views of Narragansett Bay and connecting visitors to the region’s rich maritime history.
