The Westwind is located at the most southern end of the harbor. The walk toward the center of the activity is a pretty good hike. Dining located near the WestWind is the West Deck, Scales & Shells and others (both excellent). Additional attractions at the southern end are the Arm Chair Sailor (book store), Team One (boating apparel) and the Newport Restoration School (museum).
The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina is more centrally located. Offering a swimming pool, dining on site, easy access to ferries and short walk to Banisters Wharf, Black Pearl, Clark Cook House, Candy Store (night club), and many other shops and restaurants.
Ferries are available to Providence and Providence Place (large Mall), Jamestown and its quaint village, Goat Island and the docks and the Fort Adams Yachting Museum and the revolutionary fort.
Newport Ship Yard will have some of the Worlds largest yachts at the docks. Today you'll find Alinghi, Oracle, Whisper and others.
