CAPE COD, MA NEWPORT, RI WHAT TO DO: Beautiful foliage throughout Cape Cod is what the essence of their fall season is all about. The best way to experience the exquisite colors of the leaves is undoubtedly on a scenic bike ride along the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The 22-mile path leads bikers through the small towns and villages of Cape Cod and as you pass through Brewster, there are tons of cute shops, restaurants, and historic homes to explore. WHERE TO STAY: OCEAN EDGE RESORT The Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster features a custom bike fleet with close proximity to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, making this 429-acre resort the perfect spot to stay. Ocean Edge Resort is comprised of two distinctive experiences: The AAA Four Diamond Mansion which includes 90 guest rooms and 31 Presidential Bay Collection villas and The Villages, home to a Nicklaus Design golf course with easy access to recreational activities. WHAT TO DO: The historic colonial town of Newport, also known as the "Sailing Capital of the World" has a rich maritime history. What better way to experience some of the finest sailing known today than aboard a classic boat and a ride through Newport Harbor. WHERE TO STAY: GRACE VANDERBILT Located just off the Fall River, Grace Vanderbilt has established itself as one of the best destinations to enjoy sailing in Newport. Originally built by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, a scion of the wealthy Vanderbilt family, the 1909 property is a vintage Newport mansion that has been restored to its former glory and is one of the few private homes of the era to operate for guests as a fully functioning and top luxury hotel in Rhode Island.
