Things To Do
Newport Cliff Walk
The legendary Newport Cliff Walk is a 3.5-mile public access walkway that borders the shore line and combines the natural beauty of Newport with the architectural history from the gilded age. The Cliff Walk starts from the east end of Bailey's Beach to the western end of First Beach. There are public access points at Bellevue Avenue, Ledge Road, Marine Avenue, Ruggles Avenue, Sheppard Avenue, Webster Street, and Narragansett Avenue. The trail runs behind many of Newport's famous gilded mansions, such as Astor's Beechwood, Rosecliff, Marble House, The Breakers, Ochre Court, and Rough Point, where a bridge is located over an open chasm. Most of the cliff walk is paved and offers beautiful vistas, tunnels, and long winding pathways. The latter half of the cliff walk has unpaved sections and paths along rugged New England rocky shoreline. This section is more of a challenge but has impressive views.
Newport National Golf Club
Ranked as the #1 public access course in New England, this 18-hole links-style course sports sloping fairways, marshes, and strategically placed bunkers. The dramatic setting features views of the Atlantic Ocean and Sakonnet Passage, while challenging golfers with steady winds coming off the Narragansett Bay. Newport National is reminiscent of courses in Ireland and the legendary Scottish links and Golfweek Magazine placed the course in the “Top Twenty New Courses in America”.

International Tennis Hall of Fame
The International Tennis Hall of Fame preserves and promotes the history of tennis and celebrates its champions. It includes a museum, grass tennis courts, an indoor tennis facility, and a court tennis facility. The courts are the nation's oldest, continuously used, grass courts. They are also the only competition grass courts open to the public to play on.
Visit the Newport Mansions
America’s wealthiest residents of the late 19th century reveled in the Newport's natural coastal beauty, and built their summer “cottages” to escape the hustle and bustle of New York City life. Known as “The Newport Mansions,” the enormous facades and even more lavish interiors housed a unique and selective class of business families. Thanks to the Preservation Society of Newport County, many of Newport’s most fascinating mansions have been preserved, protected, and opened to the public. Guests can enjoy a guided, audio or self tour throughout the estate and learn more about what life was like based on diaries, letters, and records from the men, women and staff who cared for them.
