My husband and I visited Newport for the first time on 8/18/07. We started our day at city walk. It turned out to be a great idea! We parked on Narragansett Ave for free parking. Although it was an extremely busy weekend we found a few parking spots and there was a couple still available when we left a few... more

My friend and I went to Cliff Walk late in the afternoon. It was beautiful and refreshing to see the coastline and ocean. There were a few surfers on the water as well. We took pictures around sunset, so the lighting was perfect against the sea. more

My first time to Newport; my boyfriend and I did the first 1.5 miles. Beautiful day, very nice views, saw a few mansions. Would recommend if you enjoy the ocean and the outdoors. more

On our trip to Newport, RI we learned that the best place to do Cliff Walk was to park on Narragansett Ave. On June 27th, 2007 at 7:00am we parked at the entrance to Cliff Walk on Narragansett Ave. You can do this early before all the mansions open up because it is open dawn to dusk.

Wow! What beautiful homes and oceanfront! The cliff walk is a wonderful experience, especially with your special someone. We started at the beginning by Memorial Blvd, but if I knew I WOULD have started at the 40 steps on Narragansett and headed south towards the mansions.

I have been to Newport many times from my childhood, through my adult years. I have always been fascinated by the mansions, and the beautiful water views, and couldn't possibly leave Newport without my stroll on the Cliff Walk. It is so breathtakingly beautiful, such a nice easy walk, (I don't go over the rocks) I stop where they begin,... more

I live in Newport and I walk the Cliff Walk many times a year. Round trip its 7 miles and will probably take a good 3 hours. The city has fixed up the Cliff Walk in the past couple months which makes the walk much easier, especially in the last mile or so (the side near the Ocean Drive). If... more

Ocean air and fabulous scenery of the backside of so many gorgeous and elegant mansions and homes. Traveled with girlfriends on a girls trip to Newport and this was my highlight of the trip! If you go and love to walk and love the outdoors you must do this beautiful Cliff Walk. more
