Things To Do

Mansions!

Newport is famous for its Gilded Age mansions. There is a list of the mansions and gardens available at newportmansions.org that will show you hours and availability for guided and self-guided tours. You can also opt for one of the Viking Newport Trolley Tours to see several of the mansions on one trip. These range from 90 minutes ($25/pp) to 4 hours ($58/pp) depending on which tour you choose. Check out vikingtoursnewport.com for tickets.

Cliff Walk

The Cliff Walk is also a must. It is a 3.5 mile path along the coast, but you can easily walk a smaller portion of it if you so choose. There are several entrances and exits along the way.

Beach It Up

Easton's (First) Beach and Sachuest (Second) Beach are both great, local options. Parking passes are available for purchase onsite, and walk-on guests may enter for free. Gooseberry beach is a private beach, but does have a limited number of day passes available. Fort Adams Beach is also great and has free parking. Reject's Beach, located at the end of the Newport Cliff Walk, isn't an official beach, but does the trick.

Castle Hill

If you're looking to have a cocktail in an Adirondack chair on a lawn with a view of incoming sailboats, Castle Hill is your spot. There is valet parking or scooters / bikes can park for free by the entrance.

Greenvale Vineyards

Greenvale Vineyards is a sixth generation farm producing small quantities of estate-grown wines.

Block Island

If you have the time, Block Island is just a ferry ride away. An incredibly cute town. Rent a bike and explore the light houses and cliffside beaches.

Marco's Café

Avoid the inevitable lines at Nitro and check out this small coffee shop tucked away on a quiet part of Spring street.

Protective Club

A bar, but legitimately some of the best sandwiches on the island. And a Guinness is mandatory.

Marina Café & Pub

You can take a water taxi here via the Newport Harbor Shuttle. $15 for the day and you can get off and on as many times as you want. Pickup locations: • Perrotti Park • The Lobster Bar at Bowen’s Wharf • Ann Street Pier • Sail Newport / Admiral’s dock • Fort Adams / Alofsin Pier • Goat Island / Marina Café
