Narragansett Bay beaches and Rhode Island Highway access
Nestled along the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay on Aquidneck Island, Portsmouth Park is a quintessential Rhode Island beach neighborhood. American flags hang outside shingle-façade dwellings lining the community’s rocky coastline, and green spaces commemorating the Revolutionary War abound. “One of the nicest things about this neighborhood is the location along the Fall River Expressway. You’re 15 minutes to Middletown and 20 minutes to Newport,” says Alexandra Thursby, a real estate agent with Lila Delman, who has sold several homes in the area. “It puts you in touch with great beaches, marinas and country clubs.”

Colonial-style dwelling from the midcentury
Portsmouth Park’s winding, paved roads closest to the ocean are lined with Colonial-inspired residences built throughout the midcentury. Three-bedroom saltbox-style homes sit behind the seawall. Cape Cod cottages on 5,000-square-foot lots have beachfront access. Gambrel farmhouses feature lawns dotted with hydrangeas tucked behind white picket fences. “Houses on the water won’t last more than a week,” says Thursby. “But everything else is still fast-selling. It’s rare for something to be on the market longer than a month.” Homebuyers will find modest ranch styles and split levels with one-two-car garages more inland. Purchasing a house in Portsmouth Park typically costs between $450,000 and $800,000, a range similar to a Newport County home’s average $700,000 selling price.

From Island Park Beach to Revolutionary War remnants
Once the site of an amusement park before it was destroyed by a hurricane in 1938, Island Park Beach is a less than 1-mile walk from Portsmouth Park via the sidewalk on East Main Road. Today, the pebbly shoreline is a popular spot for swimming, black sea bass fishing and picnicking, as local go-to Flo’s Clam Shack is across the street. Dedicated swimmers dive into the beach's cold water every December for the Polar Plunge. The recently renovated Island Park Playground is less than half a mile from the beach. Boat owners can store their yachts or sailboats less than 2 miles away at Safe Harbor Island Park Marina on Point Road.
The neighborhood is also near several non-water recreational hubs. Starting at Butts Hill Fort off Sprague Street, the vast green space south of the area is dedicated to the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Rhode Island in 1778. History buffs and hikers will see earthworks, a granite memorial made for Rhode Island’s Black regiment and several historical markers depicting the conflict. The Aquidneck Club is 3-miles away on Corys Lane. With an 18-hole golf course, a 41-slip marina and tennis courts, the country club sits on 300 acres. Golfers can also join the Montaup Country Club 2 miles north to play on the 18-hole course overlooking Mount Hope Bay and Bridge.
