Summer brought us what will undoubtedly remain some our favorite memories of the year. We dined on rooftops and seaside patios, we relished in outdoor concerts all around town, devoured our fair share of lobster rolls, watched movies under the stars and even lounged by the pool and throughout Newport's best beaches.
As Labor Day weekend nears, we're still not quite ready to say goodbye to summer. From family friendly adventures to chances to sit back and relax on a boat, beach or rooftop, these LDW ideas are just what you need to send the season out in style.

Climb aboard the Coastal Queen for a fun-filled tour of Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay. You'll pass historic sites like the International Yacht Restoration School, historic lighthouses, historic forts, mega yachts and more that surround Newport Harbor and the Jamestown shoreline.
Where better to earn your sea legs and try sailing than in The Sailing Capital of the World?

Don't forget to pack hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and a jacket or fleece to layer.
