Is it just me, or is the The Cliff Walk in Newport, R.I., the best coastal walk in New England?<\/p>\n

Other than Marginal Way<\/a> in Ogunquit, Maine and Coast Guard Beach<\/a> on Cape Cod, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more scenic ocean side stroll at a New England location that doesn’t require driving several hours to the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n

This free recreation trail indeed affords many spectacular beach, ocean, cliff side and Newport mansion views along the eastern shore. The first 3\/8 miles of this designated National Recreation Trail within a National Historic District are well-paved, with about 2\/3 of the walk being a rather easy one. Beyond the well-paved area, however, please be careful! The Cliff Walk Web Site states that on the public right-of-way over private property, “just a couple of feet from the path are abrupt drops of over 70 feet.”<\/p>\n
