Things To Do
Cliff Walk
Free and open to the public, Cliff Walk is a Newport staple, this stunning walkway makes for a gorgeous day spent seaside winding along the coast. Much of it is paved or packed dirt, but there are parts that are rocky and harder to navigate for those less ably mobile. There are many places to hop in or hop off the trail. The entire path is 2.5mi long, one way.
Schooner Madeleine at Classic Cruises of Newport
Book a charter cruise on board the schooner Madeline! Allie built all of her sails and has friends that work on board. They promise a relaxing and engaging Bay tour.
Rum Runner II- Newport Classic Cruises Bannister's Wharf
If a powerboat is more your speed, the Rum Runner II also offers a fantastic harbor tour onboard a historic bootlegger wooden powerboat!
Fort Adams State Park
Very cool historic fort overlooking Narragansett Bay. The park and hillside are open and free to the public, grab yourself a Dell's frozen lemonade and watch the boats go by, or buy a ticketed tour of the fort!
Audrain Auto Museum
Fantastic for a rainy or slower day, this small museum has a rotating collection of cars on display. Check their website for the current themed exhibit, past themes have included: concept cars, American muscle, the French Riviera...they never miss!
Audrain Cars and Coffee
Allie and Sam almost never miss a Sunday morning Cars and Coffee event. Free and open to the public at Fort Adams, on September 7, 10am-12pm there will be an extra special Cars & Coffee — Pawdrain at Fort Adams. Not only will there be classic and specialty cars, there will be a dog parade! From the event website: This event is for the whole family! While you enjoy cars from Audrain's Cars & Coffee, your dog can test their agility and talent on the Potter League agility course. There will be a dog parade which is where the true test is! Judges will be looking for beauty, obedience, playfulness and more. We have some PAW-some prizes for the winners of the below categories. *All proceeds benefit the Potter League and Audrain Automobile Museum
Perro Salado
One of our favourite restaurants, Perro serves "high end" Mexican food and has some of our fav margaritas in town! You can't go wrong with their sticky ribs, avocado fries, and duck tacos! Highly calling in for a reservation.
Pour Judgement
The best burger joint in town, grab a casual beer and a burger on Broadway, affectionately referred to as the "locals' downtown." They do not take reservations or call aheads, but there is ample bar seating and waiting for a 4-top does not usually take long.
Clarke Cooke House
A pillar of Newport Yachting culture, the Clarke Cook house is located down on Bannisters Wharf and boasts some of the best espresso martinis in town! A higher end price point on their menu makes this a nice evening out, must make a reservation here.
Wally's Wieners
A fantastic spot for a casual bite! Ask for your hotdog to be grilled, Sam is a hotdog expert. Do not need a reservation.
Cru Cafe
A fantastic casual breakfast spot, order at the counter and then pick a seat. This place does get very popular on the weekend. For a quicker in and out, order over the phone and pick up to-go! Allie loves taking a breakfast sandwich to Fort Adams on weekend mornings.
