Best Things to Do in Newport

Newport is a cute New England port town, but beaching it isn't the main thing to do here. Get your blood pumping with a stroll along the picturesque Cliff Walk trail. As you go, be sure to hop off-trail to visit the infamous Newport mansions, especially The Breakers. When your stomach is growling for lunch or you're in need of some shopping therapy, make your way down to Thames Street for your fix.
