There is a large building with bathrooms at the beach. You can try to use the following address in a GPS- 38-56 Fort Adams Dr, Newport, RI 0...

Has anyone ever planned and had an enjoyable kayak experience attending the Grand Parade of Sail or been able to get close enough to them in the harbor while they are at dock?
