Ocean Drive

Ocean Drive, also known as the Ten-Mile Drive, loops about 16 km along Newport’s southwest coast. It passes rocky coves, private estates, Fort Adams, Brenton Point State Park and Castle Hill Lighthouse. It is one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the northeastern United States and was designated a National Historic District in 1976. You can drive, cycle, or join a small convertible tour. Watching the sunset at Brenton Point is the classic experience. You can make brief stops along the roadside for photos.
