During the summer months it’s a harsh reality for Newport – that local beaches, especially Easton’s and Sachuest are flooded with tourists and notably the red tide. Any other beachside option for a good swim are either private or parking is impossible.
If you don’t need to kick your feet up on a sandy shoreline, photographer Visual Manor spent an evening discovering some beautiful places to swim. Unfortunately, we can’t reveal the locations — so it’s up to you to get adventurous and start seeking the ultimate seaside soak before the summer is over.
