Bannister's Wharf

Newport


You'll find this clutch of boutiques selling Newport and nautically themed souvenirs located directly on the waterfront. The complex also houses a working wharf and marina, blending in with the old town by virtue of its liberal use of gray shingles. A variety of guestrooms are available should you actually shop 'til you drop.
