Quonset Point
Quonset Point, a small peninsula in
Narragansett Bay, was once home to a large US Navy base, the Naval Air
Station Quonset Point. Today, it's a hub for industry, with major players like Electric Boat
Corporation. While nightlife options are limited in Quonset Point itself, the
nearby city of Newport offers a vibrant scene with spots like One Pelham East and Newport Blues
Café.
History buffs can delve into the region's military past at the Quonset Air
Museum, showcasing vintage aircraft. Nature lovers can relax on Compass Rose
Beach or enjoy scenic views at Calf Pasture Point Beach. For a
