My husband and I just spent a long weekend at Trisha's cottage and it was absolutely fabulous. We were an easy walking distance to Easton's beach, the cliff walk, Bellevue Ave/The Breakers, and it only took about 30 minutes to walk back from Downtown Newport. After enjoying plenty of local beers, a 30 minute stroll home was exactly what we needed ;) We can confidently say that we walked the entire, beautiful coastline of Rhode Island, between the cliff walk and the wildlife refuge just up the road.
There were also plenty of ubers to take you wherever you want to go, if walking isn't your thing.
When we weren't exploring the rocky beaches, we had a lot of fun eating, drinking, and shopping downtown. For fun cocktails and apps, check out Diegos (which also happens to have another location very close to the cottage), and Obrien's Pub. And for a great meal, check out Speakeasy. Breakfast at the Atlantic Grill was great as well (also very close to the cottage)!
But our favorite evening was spent visiting Ragged Island Brewery (GREAT BEERS), then up at the bar at Flo's Clam Shack (close to the cottage) where we had the freshest seafood, drank local beers, and were treated like locals from an amazing bartender.
We had an outstanding trip and look forward to visiting again. Thank you Paul & Trisha!
