Things To Do
Cliff Walk
Take a stroll along Newport’s iconic Cliff Walk, an oceanside path that weaves between crashing waves and historic mansions. It’s stunning in any weather, and a perfect way to stretch your legs post-flight (or post-cocktail).
The Breakers
Newport was the place for summer homes during the Gilded Age, and the mansions still stand! Dramatic, opulent, and full of marble and secrets. Try The Breakers, Marble House, or Rough Point for a step back in time.
Castle Hill Inn
Perched at the end of Ocean Drive, Castle Hill is the spot for a glass of wine with sweeping water views. Bring a sweater. Stay for the magic.
Ocean Drive
Take the scenic route! Ocean Avenue is cinematic. Gorgeous homes, coastal views, sailboats, and the kind of light that makes you pull over just to stare.
Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge
Peaceful walking trails right by the water, and a good spot to take a deep breath.
Norman Bird Sanctuary
Beautiful trails, birdwatching, and open skies. Great for a nature walk or some introvert decompression time.
The Bodhi Spa Newport
Need to detox from the travel (or just life)? Hit the hydrotherapy circuit at this peaceful little oasis in town.
Third Beach
A calm, quiet local favorite. Perfect for a morning swim, a low-key beach day, or a picnic with your feet in the sand. Just peace, salt air, and seagulls doing their thing.
