A visit to Newport is both everything you expect and enjoyably unpredictable. This is a place and a people made of surf and soul; raised by the ocean and built by eccentric and outspoken rebels some 300-plus years ago. If you're looking for classic Colonial architecture and breathtaking New England landscapes, we've got 'em. But it's a feeling you get here of being switched off yet inspired; engag

ed yet refreshed. There's no word for it, but it happens everyday on The Classic Coast. Now who's hungry for some chowder?
