Fort Adams

Just a short drive or a water taxi ride across Newport Harbor stands the largest coastal fortification in the United States.

Consider renting the Fort with its 6-acre parade field or North lawn on the water for your special function. Watch for upcoming special events including military reenactments, music festivals, and classic vehicle shows.
