THINGS TO DO
Gurney's Resort & Marina
Gurney's is right next door to our wedding venue and a great spot for pre-ceremony drinks or a post-reception night cap on their beautiful, string-light-covered patio overlooking the water.
Newport Vineyards
There are often live bands playing by the vines at Newport Vineyards on Sunday afternoons but don't hesitate to head in early for brunch.
Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant
A Newport landmark and hands down our favorite pub in the area. Great food and 25 beers on tap.
The Black Pearl Restaurant
Cozy up with a cup of chowder in the tavern or waterside on Bannister's wharf in the center of Newport.
White Horse Tavern
Fun fact for the history buffs: The White Horse Tavern is believed to be the oldest tavern building in the United States, it was constructed before 1673.
Ocean Drive
Ten miles of coastline meets one winding road on a scenic route circling Newport. The best way to start the drive is on Thames Street as you are driving on the water side of the road. You will end on Bellevue Avenue going north.
Cliff Walk
People travel from all over to experience Newport's 3.5-mile Cliff Walk! The serenity of salt air and the sound of crashing waves collides with Gilded Age architecture.
Coastal Queen Cruises
Climb aboard the Coastal Queen for a 90-minute Fall foliage cruise! Cruises depart daily at 3 pm from Bowen's Wharf. You will cruise out of Newport Harbor and head north in the East Passage. Enjoy a glass of apple cider on the ride or bring an ID for bar service.
