South Portsmouth, located between Common Fence Point and Melville, is a coastal and residential Portsmouth neighborhood with salt-pond shorelines and winding lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Melville Marina waterfront, where docks, chandlery counters, and low-key waterside patios set a working-harbor tone. Housing leans toward shingled capes, mid-century ranches, and newer waterfront builds tucked behind stone walls and beach grass. Aquidneck Island’s back roads and coves shape daily rhythms, with short hops to launches and shoreline walks. The Portsmouth Arts Guild and the historic Melville area add a cultural thread alongside the maritime scene.
