Newport, RI

It is relatively difficult to watch a sunset over the ocean in New England, but there are some west-facing areas scattered about that make for great sunset viewings. As this photo from the summer of 2003 shows, Newport, RI, is certainly one of these spots. Not only does the Ocean Drive south of the city center offer terrific places to watch the sun set over the ocean, but the downtown section of Newport is also a good spot for this. This photo shows a particularly nice sunset from the docks right in the heart of the city.
