    Tips

    March 12, 2024

    The Forty Steps are located less than a mile from the start of the Cliff Walk and are one of the notable landmarks along this trail and one of the most popular attractions in Newport. They are located near the intersection of Narragansett Avenue and Ochre Point Avenue, and are another spot to access the Cliff Walk. The 40 Steps are a stone staircase carved into the natural cliffs of the coastline that lead down to a beach. From the top of the steps there is an overlook that offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline, dotted with the Gilded Age summer "cottages." It's a popular spot for watching the sunrise or sunset.
