Things To Do
Cliff Walk
not very challenging, there are a few rocks that you will need to walk over, but for the most part very flat. This trail is especially cool because it takes you around all of the Newport Mansions and then you end on Easton beach.
Castle Hill Inn
Best place to get a drink- Castle Hill Inn Lawn- the cocktails and food are good, not the best on the island but you can’t beat the scenery with the white Adirondack chairs, and sailboats passing by. I’d recommend going here for a late lunch, or happy hour. The reservations do fill up quickly so I would recommend reaching out no later than 30 days in advance (I think this is how far the reservations open up, and they book up usually the same day they open up)
Midtown Oyster Bar
Midtown Oyster Bar- this is my favorite for good food, and drink. Not super cheap, but somewhere above a pub, and step down from formal dining. Casual atmosphere, lots of seafood, and a nautical vibe
Newport Vineyards
Great wine & food. Highly recommend this. Good for lunch, happy hour type food
O'Brien's Pub
No frills Irish pub/beer garden. Great place to grab a drink/local Newport staple. It’s been around forever.
Second Beach
This is our favorite beach in Newport. Lots of space, and great during low tide that you can walk out quite a bit. You can walk to the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge which is right next door. It’s a great hike (~1mile) high up on the coastline. It’s a great way to start the day then take a dip in the ocean.

Pasta Beach Newport
22 Bowens Wharf
International Tennis Hall of Fame
Ocean Drive Historic District
Ocean Drive- Rent a scoot coupe or vespa, or Drive / Bike the 10 mile winding path to experience the scenic coast line. The houses are unreal (there is also a private beach club). We would recommend catching the sunset one night at Brenton Point State Park. Pack a picnic, and BYOB. You can also swim here- it’s just a bit more rough/rocky than the other beaches but definitely do-able. You’ll be sitting on the cliffs vs. a sandy beach here.
CRU Café
Great spot for a quick breakfast/light lunch takeout!
