Newport Overlook is on Conanicut Island, which is accessible by bridge to the Rhode Island mainland on the west and to Newport on the east. The island is known for the rugged beauty of its coastline. Aside from its close proximity to the beach, the resort also offers an outdoor pool on site. In the summer, both Narrangansett Bay and Conanicut Island are dedicated to recreation. Golf, scuba diving, swimming, and tennis are just a few of the activities that can be enjoyed near the resort.
