Dock wisdom

The 12-Meter America's Cup sail is the premier Newport experience -- book well in advance for summer weekends.

Newport Harbor tours from Bannister's Wharf give the best view of the Cliff Walk mansions from the water.

Fort Adams kayak launch is calm and sheltered -- the easiest paddleboard and kayak session in Newport.

Whale watches go to deep water south of Block Island -- layers are essential even in August.
