Newport

Rhode Island was absolutely beautiful!
There is something there for everyone-you cant get bored here!

B-E-A-UTIFUL

The first time I went to this place was following my first time surfing Second Beach. The cliff walk is nice, if you like to walk outside. Also, there is a good little surf spot along the cliff walk that really only works on huge swells, but when it works, it’s a lot of fun.

Great place..beautiful…definitely do the Cliff Walk.

Military brat…nice childhood memories…I remember there used to be this fair that was held across the street in this huge field around 1985. I lived on Ranger Rd, 02840…anyone know what I’m talking about?

I’m not a big fan of most of the bars/restaurants here, but the Salvation Cafe has awesome food, people, and atmosphere.
Also you should note there a few vegan friendly dishes (hard to come by in Newport)

Definitely make time to visit the Astors Beechwood Mansion! I have been to Newport twice and this was on my list of things to do and see both times! It is a living history museum and your tour guide is a historian/actor playing the part of someone who long ago lived or visited there. These guides are very good and able to answer any questions you may have about the history of the house or Newport and the historic figures who come to life around you.

I always have fun passing over the Claiborne Pell bridge. It one of the largest suspension bridges in the world! (I wouldn’t even talk about something like a bridge unless it was definitely worth seeing!) The best place for shopping, in my opinion, would be the Long Wharf Mall! It has a great variety of shops and has a cozy feel to it. The Red Parrot is a wonderful place to eat, though expect at least an hour and a half wait for a table. There are also a ton of amazing ice cream shops and beautiful parks where you can just sit and relax.

Stayed at the gorgeous Ivy Lodge – one of the smaller Newport “cottages” and was astounded by how beautiful it was. Within walking distance of the Mansions and downtown area. A perfect location and a gorgeous B&B decorated to the max in antiques. You’ll love it.

loved it!!! will visit again

Found a great Jamaican restaurant. Try it if you like carribean food!
