Brenton Point State Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brenton Point State Park is located on Aquidneck Island in the town of Newport, Rhode Island. The park is located off of Ocean Drive, offering majestic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean as it meets Narragansett Bay. During World War II, Brenton Point was considered a strategic defense area, as it is the point of entrance into the East Passage, which allows access to Newport and to Conanicut Island. The park is ideal for picnics, with tables provided throughout, and accessways down to the shore. The park annually hosts the Brenton Point Kite Festival which draws kite enthusiasts from around the country.
