Sandra McCartneyMay 13, 2014Bring good walking shoes/hiking boots, water & sunscreen. Breathtaking views & a great workout, unfortunately parts of the walk is closed due to Hurricane Sandy & should reopen late this summer.
AmroJune 9, 2016Literally I can't get enough of this place. It's close to my home bout 35 min' drive and I go back and forth every other week. You can walk, run, set, surf and even enjoy a delicious lobster roll.
Upvoted Feb 10- drew tarvinMay 13, 2015Start at the 40 Steps and follow the signs towards The Breakers Mansion. The path isn't perilous at all, despite the signage.
AlekseyAugust 14, 2015Great vistas of the sea. Come here to watch the sunset and sunrise, walk around the Newport, and enjoy the sea. Be careful though, lots of poison ivy along the walk.- Maria JoNovember 2, 2017Great place for photography. I got really good shots. I started at the Forty Steps (also a great place) and walked down the cliff walk.

"Great beach. Watch out for "red tide" (red seaweed that's in the water, not harmful). Snack shack is great - awesome lobster rolls for a great price. Protect your food from seagulls though."
