The iconic Newport Cliff Walk's official start is here, on Memorial Boulevard, on the west side of Easton's Beach. You can park at the beach and begin your walk along the famous 3.5-mile, paved costal trail, enjoying panoramic ocean views on one side and incredible, historic Gilded Age mansions on the other.

Beautiful cliff walk, but closed in the last third. Only accessible again from Ledge Street.

The Cliffwalk is certainly one of the highlights of the North Atlantic Coast of the USA.
Some of the mansions are open to visitors. The Breakers is particularly recommended.
