Newport, RI Spring Guide
Planning a trip this Spring? Look no further than pristine sunsets, beautiful beaches, and fun for the whole family at the Wellington, located right here in Newport, Rhode Island.
Newport Beaches
Newport Beaches are some of the finest in New England. We've rounded up our favorites, each with unique highlights that attract a variety of beach lovers. Ditch the city for sand this spring - choose your adventure from our list of the best beaches in Newport, or visit them all.
Farmers Market
Spring and summer bring all of the green goodness to the Farmers Market at Mount Hope Farm. Grab your sun hat, cloth bag and visit the market every Saturday from 9am to 12:30pm.
Fort Adams State Park
We decided that the key to a successful family vacation is keeping those young ones active to maximize on bedtime! Fort Adams is complete with amazing historical tours and also boasts a two mile walk around the park. Bedtime hack: unlocked.
Springtime Picnics
For Instagram moments in the making, look no further than Stoneacre Picnics for all of your luxe picnic needs. Reserve a unique to you private picnic, and add on anything from charcuterie to caprese and caviar. Every detail is thought out and delivered beautifully. So, who's coming with you?
Daffodil Days
Life is too short to not stop and smell the daffodils. Good thing Daffodil Days are back in Newport, all April long.
Harbor Cruise
What better way to take a cruise in Narragansett Bay than with mimosas? Gansett Cruises offers a variety of tours, from quiet and relaxing to more lively. Our pick? The weekend 'wake up and mimosa morning cruise', departing at 11:30am. We also love to set sail from Bowen’s Wharf with Classic Cruises of Newport on Rum Runner and Madeline, or from Goat Island on Schooner Aurora.
Norman Bird Sactuary
There is nothing more delightful on a family vacation than seeing the look of wonder in a child’s eyes. With over 300 acres of truly unique habitats to explore, a trip to Norman Bird Sanctuary will provide just that.
Shopping
Steps from The Wellington, stroll Thames Street where you'll find major brands, boutiques, locally-owned shops, and galleries. It won't take long to find mementos to take home from your time in Newport.
