Things to do
Cliff Walk
Newport's enchanting 3.5-mile Cliff Walk offers panoramic ocean views, crashing waves and the perfect amount of sea breeze on one side and stunning, century-old, Gilded Age mansions on the other.
Easton Beach
Also known as First Beach, this 3/4-mile stretch of sand and ocean is the prime spot for whichever beach-day activity you desire. Rolling waves set the scene for surfing or boogie boarding. Bonus: It marks the beginning of Cliff Walk, just in case you find yourself yearning a scenic stroll. If arriving by car, arrive early as lots are anticipated to fill quickly. Parking lot gates will close at 5:00 PM.
The Mansions
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Newport Mansions. Five remarkable audio tours bring you a new and unique perspective on the lives of the people who lived and worked in the grand mansions of Newport. The Elms and The Breakers are most popular.
Newport Vineyards
Situated on over 100-acres of historically preserved farmland, Newport Vineyards prides itself on the marriage of locally-sourced food with estate-grown wines and fresh locally made beer. Spend an afternoon wine tasting, enjoy fresh craft beer and lunch at Taproot Brewing Co., or enjoy dinner at Brix Restaurant for 100% from-scratch cooking.
Boat Cruise
See the harbor from the seas! There are several companies who offer daytime and sunset boat cruises out of Bowen's Wharf. Book online in advance.
