Description
One of the top things to do in Newport, Rhode Island is to explore the city's Atlantic Coast. This can be done by walking, and at times hiking, the Cliff Walk, or by driving famous Ocean Drive, also known as Ten Mile Drive or, more colloquially, The Drive.
Ocean Drive affords views of some of the "cottages" - mansions and estates, really - built as summer residences by wealthy New Yorkers during the city's Gilded Age, as well as impressive homes built more recently.
This is a particularly lovely estate, with its lovely lawn and several Adirondack chairs for enjoying beautiful views and balmy sea breezes.
Ocean Drive also affords beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and beaches, usually rocky, on the Newport coast.
Another way to enjoy the coast is on the Cliff Walk which, at times, turns into more of a hike over rugged terrain.
