Description: Here, where history meets the sea, the rhythm shifts.
Cobblestone streets open toward the water, and the air carries salt, stories, and quiet elegance. Each step follows the curve of Newport—unhurried, coastal, timeless. This walk begins in the heart of Old Town Newport , weaving through historic streets before opening up toward the iconic mansions and ocean views beyond. The path invites you to slow down, to notice the details: sunlight on stone façades, waves brushing the shore, and the soft contrast between old-world charm and open coastal space.
The Waves marks our point of return —a natural pause to breathe, regroup, and take in the scenery before retracing our steps back through the city. The walk flows like the tide: out, then back, steady and intentional. As the journey ends, the experience continues with an optional lunch at a nearby restaurant in the same area , a perfect way to unwind, share conversation, and close the loop together. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a coastal rhythm, a shared moment, and an invitation to move with intention.
