Running Aquidneck Island is something you can enjoy year round. The best part, it’s an island… so you don’t have to circle back, ever! Rather its a short mile to Easton Beach or a pop up 5k down Bellevue Ave and return to Brenton put on your treads and have at it! For the more adventurous, try the 10 mile Ocean Drive loop.

Of the numerous breweries in RI, there are a few within a short drive’s distance of the Brenton. The 5 on this list offer retail sales of their beers in cans/bottles and growler fills. All have Tap/Tasting rooms and offer seating by reservation. I couldn’t begin to describe all the beers offered by these 5 breweries but suffice it to say that I’ve never tried one of their beers that I didn’t like. From stouts to sours to lagers and beyond, these breweries offer a great representation of all styles of beer and all do a great job of preserving the feel of the small local brewery.

The Cliff Walk along Newport’s Easton Beach is probably the most notable of all walking tours in our beautiful City by the Sea. It’s 3.5 mile trail leads you along historic coast lines, through Salve Regina University and along the sprawling lawns of many of our famed Gilded Age Mansions. The Walk is extraordinary and a must do for the trail hound. With that said there are many option for people who like short strolls around town or scenic  paths along nature preserves and state parks. My top trails are: Brenton State Park, the Norman Bird Sanctuary, Sachuset Point National Wildlife Refuge, Fort Adams state park, and strolling along the paths of “The Point” district (It’s like a walk through the colonial era.).

Enjoy your stroll – Andy Ross, Managing Director
