Rhode island gay bars

Rhode Island may not be the first place to come to the top of your mind when you think of LGBT travel destinations. Hits all the boxes on everything you would need in a travel destination and Newport boasts itself on being a place that takes pride in being LGBT friendly.

The Rhode Island coastline is already a stunner, to begin with. Combine that with a scenic 3. My partner and I LOVE packing a picnic and finding a spot to take in the sunset while we bar on some goodies we picked up downtown. A perfect spot for a date night and a romantic evening or rhode moment spent with family.

Nestled on the coastline of Newport, this sprawling park is full of coastal views and one of my favorite places to spend a sunny Newport afternoon. Join countless people as they fill the skies with gay kites or spend the afternoon fishing on the jagged rocks. A short walk from the parking lot, follow the trail for secluded, impressive chasm views.

One of those trails will lead you to the gorgeous spot, Hanging Rock. Hike the ridges, and enjoy the views! Be wary there is an entrance fee. Learn more here.

LGBT Travel Guide: What To Do In Newport, Rhode Island

There are countless companies that offer cruises around the bay where you can watch the sun dip behind the Pell Newport Bridge. The best part you ask? Quite a bit of these companies offer drinks with the purchase of your ticket. Did somebody say sunsets and sangria? Affluents found comfort in their grand summer homes that they built in Newport.

Newport Restoration and The Preservation Society of Newport County has done an outstanding job at maintaining these marvelous homes. Scott Fitzgerald novel as you tour these homes and feel some serious FOMO for not attending the legendary parties that took place in its halls. Stroll the grounds and channel your best Gatsby as the ocean crashes on the coast around you.

Hands down my absolute favorite Newport mansion. The former home of Doris Duke is as imposing and grandiose as you can imagine. Not entirely sure who Doris Duke is…. Doris Duke was the daughter of a wealthy tobacco tycoon.
