Independence Day and stay awhile at Wyndham Long Wharf Resort, July 4–11

There really is something for everyone at Long Wharf Resort just across from Newport Harbor! This beautiful resort is a perfect fit among Newport's historic Colonial homes and 19th-century mansions of the Newport Gilded Age (open for tours). Charter a boat, shop at boutiques, visit the mansions, and feast on seafood during your stay.

Guests at the resort have two pools to choose from—you can kick back in the indoor swimming pool with hot tub or sunbathe next to the outdoor pool. When you are not in the water, or out on the water (enjoying boating, fishing, and sailing the Narragansett Bay), croquet on the lawn and a cookout at the resort's barbecue pavilion are very “New England-Ish” pastimes. Or catch a flick at the resort's private surround-sound movie theater, enjoy some family fun in the game room and keep up your workout routine at the fitness center.

Visit boutiques and restaurants (feast on famous seafood dishes) close by but don’t forget to take time to enjoy your spacious 2-bedroom deluxe suite with a full kitchen, dining area, and two full bathrooms. Private sleeping area sleeps four, but with a pull-out sofa upping that to six, there is plenty of space for the family!
