There is good reason for the name "Rough Point" for this incredible mansion that originally belonged to artist Doris Duke. This was Doris' private retreat, inaccessible by car and surrounded by the rocky shoreline that characterizes the Newport coastline. Admire her extensive collection of fine and decorative art, walk through the rambling rooms and capture the breathtaking views. Hours of operation vary.
