Things To Do
The Lawn at Castle Hill Inn
Our favorite spot in Newport! The lawn at Castle Hill Inn is the perfect spot to relax with a cocktail and watch the sailboats go by.
Cliff Walk
Entrance at Memorial & Eustis, Newport. Not to be missed! This 3.5 mile walk along Newport’s pristine coastline will give you a waterfront tour of the majestic mansions and an awe-inspiring view of the Rhode Island Sound.
Newport Mansions Preservation Society
The mansions of the Vanderbilts, and other elite families that “summered” in Newport in the early 1900s, are a must-see. Our favorites include The Breakers, The Elms, Marble House & (of course!) Rosecliff. Tickets are available at each location.
Ocean Drive Historic District
This ten mile drive showcases the history of opulent summer homes from the 1800's along with public parks and miles of beautiful shoreline. One of the most popular "drives" in the country. Beginning at the Elms, past the Breakers, winding around Ocean Drive to Fort Adams and the New York Yacht Club and ending at Kings Park on Newport Harbor, this drive offers some of the best scenery you can imagine.
Sachuest Beach (Second Beach)
Sachuest Beach, locally known as Second Beach, is a South facing, mile long, family friendly beach with good surf and great sand.
Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge
Situated on the coast overlooking the ocean, Sachuest Point offers scenic nature trails with beautiful views and wildlife. We walked the 2.5 mile loop during our first trip to Newport and loved it!
