Everyone knows Newport, Rhode Island is a Summertime heaven. But what about the Off Season? The Off Season is actually a magical time to visit. Here are 8 things to do in Newport, Rhode Island in the off season.
It might not be 85 and sunny but the New England air in September, October and November is actually gorgeous. Fall foliage turning looks gorgeous strolling around Historic Downtown Newport. Last weekend I took a girls trip for 24 hours in Newport, Rhode Island and even with COVID, we had plenty of outdoor things to do!
Read on for 8 Things to do in Newport, Rhode Island in the Off Season.
1. Visit the Cliffwalk.
3 miles of gorgeous scenery behind the mansions. 🌊 No matter what end you start at the Cliffwalk you can’t go wrong. Here is a tip – from downtown Newport you can take the bus or trolley for $2 a trip that will take you to multiple spots along the Cliffwalk.
2. Go Sailing ⛵️
We love the Adirondak II.
3. Rent bikes or scooters.
We used the bikes from our stay at Hotel Viking 🚲🚲
4. Pack a picnic and enjoy it under the Giant Birch Trees at the Elms. 🧺
We picked one pre-made up from Picnic on Bellevue Avenue.
5. Seaside cocktails on the Lawn at the The Chanler Inn 🌹
The Chanler is at the start of the Cliffwalk and is the perfect beginning or end to your Cliffwalk hike.
6. Enjoy the fire pits at Gurney’s Newport with a view of the bridge or Hotel Viking and cozy up with hot cocoa. 🔥
7. Outdoor brunch at Stone Acre Barsserie 🦪
Get the biscuits with Honey Sea Salt Butter, trust me! This slightly off the beaten path restaurant is delicious for brunch. We loved the little tea kettles and seasonal jams.
8. Take a drive down with the windows open along Ocean Drive.
Stopping along the way for photo ops of course. Breathtaking views! 🌊
