Newport is famous for the mansions that line its rocky coast and its lovely scenery. One can take tours of the mansions or view them while hiking along Cliff Walk, a scenic path beside the sea.

A 14 mile long bike path with magnificent views runs along the East Bay. The area is also a popular fishing and boating spot.
