Land's End is former oceanfront home of author Edith Wharton. Unlike most historic mansions in this part of Newport is it privately owned. The property sits on approximately 5.6 acres and features an 11,000-square-foot, nine-bedroom main house. Edith Wharton and her husband, Edward Robbins Wharton, purchased the property in 1893 for $80,000 and in 2020 it was sold for $8.6 million.

'The Waves', also called 'John Russell Pope House', is a building built in 1927 in the French-Norman style. The property is located on the southeastern peninsula of 'Aquidneck Island' at the end of the 'Cliff Walk'. The architect John Russell Pope used it as his own residence. After his death, the huge house was converted into condominiums.

Despite the Cliff Walk being closed at the Chinese Teahouse, you should still continue on to here. Excellent view across to Ocean Drive!
