Question
What is the best way to get to Newport, RI?
Answer
From Long Island, you have the option to take the ferry. You can take the Cross Sound Car Ferry (https://www.longislandferry.com/) from Orient Point, NY which takes you to New London, CT. The ferry is a little over an hour and Newport is about an hour drive from New London. From NJ, it is about a 3.5 - 4 hour drive. If taking AMTRAK, the nearest train station to Newport is Kingston, RI. The nearest airport to Newport is Providence (PVD) Airport which is 17.6 miles away.
