Dana V. • June 24, 2016Stunning view of the ocean and the back yards of the mansions. Absolutely beautiful walk!

Jay E. • October 12, 2015Great stop in Newport. Self guided tour is easy to keep your own pace and learn as much or as little as you'd like. Cool seeing how the rich lived in the Gilded Age.

Christina • December 31, 2016Absolutely stunning! The Christmas decorations made it that much more enjoyable!

Roma N. • January 12Beautiful view when you go down of the stairs.

Sandra M. • May 17, 2014GREAT FOR HISTORY BUFFS! Great walking trails, breathtaking views of the water, boats and historic buildings!

Jeiran H. • February 1, 2016Metered street parking if you can find it, cheaper than paying for the lot. Always lovey to walk on this beach.

Amy E. • August 29, 2022Smaller then the other houses. But worth time to visit

Sheila F. • July 28, 2010The behind the scenes tour is cool, but you don't see any of the main house. That is a separate audio tour. Our guide was less than stellar, but with another guided, it would have been really cool. Th

Kristen • November 17, 2014I love sailing from here and just hanging out. Great laid-back spot, nice views and a pleasant way to pass time on a sunny afternoon.

Mike K. • July 21, 2019Great for kids. Bring kayak or paddleboard. Plenty to explore. Nice food stand.

Hard R. • September 22, 2014A nice shaded area to relax and sit.

Rob H. • December 4, 2011Great beach. Watch out for "red tide" (red seaweed that's in the water, not harmful). Snack shack is great - awesome lobster rolls for a great price. Protect your food from seagulls though.

Gene J. • September 3, 2012Great place for a scenic run.

Haze Z. • August 20, 20111500 - 1700 the great time to be at this place :)

Willem V. • July 6, 2015The red tide at First Beach makes it almost unbearable to swim at. There are much better beaches in the area!

Korie S. • May 5, 2023This was the one place I was looking forward to seeing in Newport. Loved everything about it & it’s just as pretty in person. The entrance says private property but that’s the way to go in.
