Things to Do

Newport, Rhode Island is a true gem and one of our favorite destinations. From unique shops and delicious restaurants to the beaches, picturesque coastlines, lighthouses, and beautiful mansions, there is something to enjoy for everyone. Here are a few of our recommendations!



VISIT A MANSION

Newport is famous for its historic mansions and you can visit them through booking tickets online or on sites such as Trip Advisor. Some of the most famous mansions are The Breakers, The Elms, Marble House, and Chateau-sur-Mer. A few of the mansions are also bordered by the popular Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile path along the coast where you can hike to get fantastic views of Narragansett Bay.

Go Shopping

Bowen’s Wharf: Great place to walk around — has restaurants, bars, and nice boutique shops as well as a view of the harbor.
