Newport and Middletown are great for relaxing at the beach, biking, fishing, walking, sailing, and other outdoor recreations. You can go surfing, kayaking (rentals available) or boogie boarding. Newport is loaded with things to do! There's great restaurants and nightly entertainment. You can take in a minor league baseball game. You can rent bikes or mopeds to get around or go for a nice long run or walk along the beach. The Cliff Walk is a fun activity that you get to see the beauty of the coastline, view the mansions and get some exercise.
