Cliff Walk

Waves to your left, mansions to your right

Cliff Walk 2

The 3.5 mile Newport Cliff Walk dazzles as it passes Gilded Age mansions and beautiful beaches. The Atlantic Ocean waves provide the soundtrack as they crash into cliff edges.

The northern half of the walk is mostly paved and easygoing, but the southern section turns rugged. While there’s no obligation to continue, it rewards those who enjoy rock scrambling with wilder coastal scenery.

At one point, the cliffs reach 70 feet.
