Things To Do
The Breakers
The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial pre-eminence in the Gilded Age. It is the flagship of the Newport Mansions and an icon of the City-by-the-Sea.
Newport Cliff Walk
Craving serenity? 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.
Brick Market Place
The Brick Market Place is a year-round destination nestled in the heart of Newport. Containing over 25 unique shops and eateries, Brick Market Place is a must for visitors and locals alike. Located between Thames Street and Americas Cup Avenue, the Brick Market Place is open daily. It includes three parallel rows of businesses offering everything you could dream of from frozen yogurt to shoes to handmade gifts and souvenirs.
Day Sails
Enjoy the scenery sailing through Newport Harbor, into Narragansett Bay, and along the shoreline of Newport’s picturesque Ocean Drive. Day Sails, during the early to late afternoon usually offer the best winds of the day. You can just sit back, relax and enjoy the sights, or are welcome to help raise sail, take the wheel and sail. No sailing experience is required.
