+Things to Do
welcome to
Portsmouth
 

Welcome to Portsmouth, the fastest growing of the three Aquidneck Island communities.  Often referred to as one of the prettiest New England towns, Portsmouth also boasts one of the most progressive farm preservation programs in New England.  With acres of unspoiled pasture and farmlands and over 56 miles of coastline, this rural town is a sought after and highly desirable place to reside and work.

Whether attending a polo match at Glen Farm, boating from one of the five full service marinas, or golfing at prestigious Carnegie Abbey’s widely acclaimed Scottish Links course, Portsmouth offers leisure opportunities for every lifestyle and taste.  Enjoy an afternoon hiking in the 130 acre Melville Ponds Park, sample a local wine at Greenvale Vineyards, or stop at one of the charming roadside farm stands.  Easily accessible by land, sea, and air, Portsmouth is centrally located between the major metropolitan areas of Boston and New York.
