Newport's Beaches
Newport
First Beach, or Easton's Beach as it is commonly known, is a beloved spot for kayaking and surfing and during the summer, boasts a snack bar that serves lobster rolls as well as a Del's Lemonade truck. Gooseberry Beach sits on the southern end of peninsula, closer to Castle Hill Inn and Bailey’s Beach. Second Beach is slightly less busy, set further east of town near the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge.
