More Fun to be Had
Ocean Drive Ocean Drive runs past Fort Adams State Park, Hammersmith Farm, Gooseberry and Bailey's Beaches, and ends on Bellevue near the mansions. Stop at the Inn at Castle Hill for a cocktail and a cliffside view.
Newport Mansions Most of the summer "cottages" are located on Bellevue Avenue and offer a glimpse of the "Guilded Age" of Newport. You can tour any of the mansions - or take in a quick "drive-by". We recommend a detour (a left on Victoria Avenue to Ochre Point) to see The Breakers.
