Located on Memorial Boulevard at the start of the City’s famed Cliff Walk, Easton’s Beach occupies a 3/4 mile long stretch of sand facing the classic Atlantic surf. It’s free to swim but during season there is a parking fee.  

SAUNTER: Newport’s enchanting 3.5-mile Cliff Walk is the perfect place for a moment of peace. The Cliff walk, which is free and available 365 days a week, combines the natural beauty of the Newport shoreline with the architectural history of Newport’s gilded age. You can walk a part of the trail or the whole thing—it’s up to you.

Panoramic ocean views, crashing waves and the sea breeze is the perfect place to take a break. It’s a unique National Recreation Trail in a National Historic District.
