Things To Do
Shopping on Thames Street
Newport's main street downtown - filled with restaurants, bars, and boutiques.
Drinks at Castle Hill Inn
One of the most beautiful views in Newport. Grab a drink on the lawn overlooking the water and famous Newport Bridge, or stay for dinner and enjoy the sunset. Be sure to take the long away around Ocean Drive on your way in for some stellar coastal views.
Easton Beach
Also known as "First Beach," this is one of the largest of Newport's beaches and the closest to downtown (20-minute walk or a 10-minute bike) if you want to spend the day getting a tan and hopping in the ocean.
Newport Mansions Tours
What Newport is known for! Take a tour of the stunning Bellevue Avenue mansions to see what life was like in a Gilded Age summer.
Hike the Cliff Walk
Newport's famous cliff walk trail goes along the coast of the Island and has absolutely stunning views. Parts of the trail include climbing and steep rocks - definitely wear sneakers! We recommend starting at the in-town entrance (by the Chanler Hotel) and ending at Free Beach. From the beach end, you can take the Trolley back into town.
Cruise Newport
Grab tickets to one of Newport's renowned Harbor Cruises! Our favorite is the Sunset Cruise on the Rum Runner II.
