Things To Do
Newport Mansions
During the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families flocked to the City by the Sea and its surrounding areas; making the area their summertime playground. The meticulous preservation of more than a dozen of these homes gives us intimate access to the artistry, personality, and complex culture that went into these colossal time capsules.
Cliff Walk
Newport's enchanting 3.5-mile Cliff Walk is the perfect place for your moment of peace. Panoramic ocean views, crashing waves and the perfect amount of sea breeze on one side and stunning, century-old, Gilded Age mansions on the other; heaven is a place on earth.
Bowen's Wharf Seafood Festival
Historic Bowen’s Wharf in downtown Newport, RI, will host the 34th annual Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival, on October 18th and 19th, 2025. Named one of the “10 Fabulous Fall Festivals on the Coast,” by Coastal Living Magazine, this event is an open invitation for all to come back to the waterfront after the rush of the summer season!
Ocean Drive
10 miles of commanding coastline meets one winding road on Newport’s iconic Ocean Drive. Start your journey just off historic Bellevue Avenue and continue along for an undeniably tranquil journey with heart-stopping views.
Beach Day
More than 400 miles of coastline affords beautiful beaches and sprawling sandy seasides here in and around Newport. October temperatures may be warm enough for swimming, but even a walk on the beach here is enjoyable.
