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.

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)

At least it was accurate, because for a time during the colonial period it rivaled Boston and even New York as a center of New World trade and prosperity. Newport occupies the southern tip of Aquidneck Island in Narragansett Bay, and is connected to the mainland by three bridges and a ferry. Wealthy industrialists, railroad tycoons, coal magnates, financiers, and robber barons were drawn to the area in the 19th century, especially between the Civil War and World War I. They bought up property at the ocean's rim to build what they called summer "cottages" -- which were in fact mansions of immoderate design and proportions patterned after European palaces.
