interesting question...mack cove is a good kids beach and you dont have to deal with the college age crowd, newport is a 5 minute ride...good fishing if you plan on sneaking out at night...
my kids are 12, 9 and 6..if i had to a choice between the two, I'd take jamestown in a second...

Jamestown with the Newport Option is what I'd do. Best of both worlds.....you could always head South along rt. 1 for a joyride to SC if your wife gets bored of Newport in the Summer...  (which won't happen). |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Zimmy,
Jamestown is beautiful and quiet. There is also a ferry service to Newport so you don't have the hassle of driving/parking there.
2013 Jamestown Newport Ferry Operating Schedule
South County beaches are a crapshoot right now but I expect authorities to do everything in their power to make sure those beaches are open - too important to their economy. Mackeral Cove in Jamestown is a good kids beach. Fairly shallow and not to rough. Some good restaurants in Jamestown.

Having a "base of operations" in the quiet of Jamestown with daily raids where ever you want to go based on whatever you want to do does make a lot of sense.

Zimmy,
When the time comes shoot me a PM and maybe we can share a few casts here in Newport where I live. BTW: Newport/Middletown Beaches have bigger waves and are right across the bridge.
