Things To Do
Easton’s Beach
Newport is blessed with a beautiful coastline and several public beaches to enjoy surf, sand, and sun. The largest of them is Easton's Beach - locally known as First Beach. Located on Memorial Boulevard at the start of the City's famed Cliff Walk, Easton's Beach occupies a 3/4 mile long stretch of sand with board walk and Atlantic facing surf. The snack bar also sells an AMAZING lobster roll!
Cliff Walk
Craving serenity? Newport's enchanting 3.5-mile Cliff Walk is the perfect place for your moment of peace. 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.
The Breakers
The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn of the century America. As they are now national historical landmarks the Newport preservation society hosts incredible tours of the Newport mansions. Also check out The Marble House, Rosecliff Mansion, The Elms tour options!
Ocean Drive
If you have a car a must see is the 10 miles of commanding coastline along one winding road on Newport’s iconic Ocean Drive. Start your journey just off historic Bellevue Avenue and continue along for an undeniably tranquil journey with heart-stopping views. You’ll pass by Gilded Age mansions, Hammersmith Farm where Jackie Kennedy grew up, Brenton Point State Park, Fort Adams State Park, and Gooseberry Beach (where Mike & Briana will say I Do!). Don’t forget to roll the windows down to catch the soothing sound of rippling waves meeting the shoreline.
Bowens Wharf
The Anchor of the Newport Waterfront! Marina, restaurants & nightlife, tours, boutiques & art galleries as well as events all year round.
Thames Street
The very center of the City by the Sea's bustling downtown area, Thames Street is lined on either side with a myriad of shops, restaurants, and bars, making it a worthwhile place to stop between morning mansion viewings and sunset sails.
Sailing & Boating
Newport is considered one of the sailing capitals of the world. Among its many claims to that title is the fact that it is home to the largest fleet of America’s Cup 12 Meters in the world, most of which are available for charter. Rehearsal dinner guests Mike & Briana will be hosting you on Schooner Aquidneck so no need to book this experience!
