Newport Gulls

Just across the street from Brenton is one of the most iconic pastimes in Newport! The Newport Gulls are one of the best summer collegiate baseball organizations in the country.

Great family entertainment, many of these players will head to the big leagues some day soon! The Newport Gulls are six-time champions of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) and in 2012 were ranked as the No. 1 summer collegiate baseball team nationally by Perfect Game USA.

Grab the kids and head over for an evening of pure Americana (or catch the view from your city view room!)
