    Located near the back lawn of The Breakers and other historic mansions like Rough Point, this scenic 3.5-mile walk along Newport's coastline connects the western end of Easton Beach to the eastern end of Bailey’s Beach. Stroll along the Cliff Walk to spot a variety of wildflowers and birds, and enjoy commanding views of Narragansett Bay.It’s mostly an easy walk, but watch out for the southern section, which can get slightly tricky along the rocky shore. Newport gets especially busy during summer weekends—plan your visit during spring or fall, or on weekdays for fewer crowds. – Tripadvisor See more..

    The previous southern entrance is now closed (except for their farmers market) and parking is across the road from the Inn. The easy walk to Cove Cabin is about one mile along a shaded roadway and is definitely worth the effort. Note that the current policy does not allow dogs. A left at the “private” sign takes you to an important monument to King Phillip ( the place that he was killed). See more..
