The path hugs Newport’s eastern shoreline, providing breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the opulent Gilded Age mansions on the other. The Cliff Walk is open daily from sunrise to sunset and is free to explore. It's a National Recreation Trail and a National Historic District, offering a rare combination of natural and historical significance. As you walk, you'll pass by iconic estates like The Breakers, Marble House, and Rough Point. While some are private, many offer seasonal tours that delve into Newport's rich history.
