Cliff Walk is a 3.5 mile walk along the shoreline of Newport. If short on time, you probably won’t want to do the entire Cliff Walk, which starts at Easton’s Beach. Instead, start Cliff Walk at the entrance off of Seaview Avenue (by the cozy and luxurious Cliffside Inn) and head south until you get to Forty Steps. This is hard to miss as it is – su...
Speaking of the Breakers…if it’s your first time to Newport, you should really make time to see this opulent mansion. Newport is home to several stately mansions from Newport’s Gilded Age that you can tour, but the Breakers stands out from the pack thanks to the pure grand excess of it. The Breakers was built in 1895 by Cornelius Vanderbilt II and ...
If you have time to tour another mansion, I highly recommend doing the servant tour at Elm House, especially if you’re a Downton Abbey fan like I am. It gives you detailed insight into the upstairs/downstairs history of Newport. You’ll learn how the houses operated back before the Great Depression when excess was flaunted, but it took a massive ser...
If you like a good mystery, then dive into some of Newport’s mystical past at Touro Park. In addition to being a large grassy area surrounded by a cute ritzy neighborhood just a couple blocks from Thames Street, Touro Park is home to the Newport Tower (also referred to as the Old Stone Mill), a stone tower that is plopped in the middle of the park ...
If you want to do shopping, Thames Street is the place to do it. But even if you’re keeping a tighter grip on your pocketbook, you’ll still want to explore Thames Street. The street is 1.5 miles long and is full of historic buildings housing a variety of stores, restaurants and bars. Just down Spring Street off of Thames Street, you’ll find the his...
Ocean Drive, also referred to as 10 Mile Drive, is a scenic drive in Newport that takes you past windswept beaches and some of the most expensive homes in the area. The drive starts at the south end of Cliff Walk on Bellevue Avenue where the Elms mansion is located. You’ll continue south down Bellevue Avenue where you’ll pass some more historic man...
Where to Drink: Have a drink at White Horse Tavern, the oldest continuously operating tavern in the United States. Ask the bartender about the ghost that haunts it! Where to Eat: The Mooring Restauranthas harbor views and tasty seafood. Don’t miss out on the yummy Bag of Doughnuts appetizers (which are actually seafood fritters). Where to Sleep: Cl...
The Elms is a large mansion (sometimes facetiously called a "summer cottage") located at 367 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, completed in 1901.
