Downtown Newport and the wharves are located off Thames Street and are home to great food, bars, and tons of shopping. Don't miss out on walking through the charming streets and visiting the many unique shops and boutiques. Be sure to walk down the wharf where you will see beautiful views of the water and boats. We always make a point to stop at the historic Black Pearl every time we visit Newport for their famous Clam Chowder!

The Lawn at Castle Hill Inn is one of our favorite Newport experiences. Grab a seat on an Adirondack chair and your cocktail or snack of choice and enjoy one of the most amazing views and sunsets in Newport. No reservation required! The Lawn also has restaurant dining available and we would recommend a reservation for that.

One of the top attractions in Newport, the Cliff Walk is a 3.5-mile walk along the beautifully scenic shoreline, where you will pass by a number of Newport’s famous gilded mansions, including, The Breakers, Marble House, and Rosecliff, and get to experience panoramic views of the ocean. The path traces the edge of the sea and is enjoyed by all, from photographers to casual walkers, to long-distance runners

The Vanderbilt family’s awe-inspiring summer home, renowned for its opulent interiors and known for its Beaux-Arts architecture and lavish use of marble. It is our favorite of the Newport Mansions, and was also seen on HBO's series "The Gilded Age."

Sailing is a huge part of this coastal city, which hosted America's Cup, a renowned annual regatta, for many years. Experience Newport, the "Sailing Capital of the World," from the water on a sail aboard the Adirondack II, Eleanor, Madeleine, or many other sailing and cruising options! The crews are all amazing and provide a fun and relaxing sailing experience for all on board! We personally recommend enjoying a sail and local libation on the Schooner Adirondack II!

Sachuest Beach in Middletown, locally known as Second Beach, is where you'll find most of the area's locals. The longest stretch of sand in Rhode Island, Second Beach provides 1.5 miles of white sand stretching down to Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge.

Head to Surfer's End for, you guessed it, surfing; plus, kayaking and kite flying. Large waves and ample space culminate the perfect beach scene.
