Newport 🦪: Ocean Breeze with Oyster Flavors | Rhode Island Day Trip

We headed to Newport—and it was such a lovely getaway! The drive from Providence only takes 40 minutes, so it’s super convenient. ◽️ Lunch: 🌯 Monahan's Clam Shack📍 190 Ocean Rd, NarragansettTheir lobster roll is amazing value! For just $23, it’s packed full of tender lobster meat—no skimping here at all 🦞. ◽️ Afternoon: Stroll Along Cliff WalkTake a leisurely walk along Cliff Walk, and feel free to stop by The Breakers (The Breakers Mansion) for a visit if you have time 🏰.📌 Pro Tip for Drivers: Navigate to “Forty Steps”—there’s street parking on both sides of the road nearby, which makes it easy to park. ◽️ Evening: Sunset Sail ⛵!This was so beautiful and totally worth it ($55 per person)!🎫 You need to book tickets in advance through Newport’s official website—just search for “sail-newport” and you’ll find the booking page. We boarded at 6 PM and got back to shore at 7:45 PM, and the sunset was absolutely breathtaking 🌅.🥶 Heads up: It’s much colder out at sea, so bring a thick jacket! (This tour might not run in winter—friends, be sure to check the official website beforehand to confirm availability!) ◽️ Dinner: 🦪 Benjamin's📍 254 Thames St, NewportThis oyster bar is right across from the dock. The oysters here are great—they’re not huge, but they’re super fresh and sweet.Word of caution: Be careful with the other main dishes! We ordered three mains, and two of them were total misses 😅. Then we headed back home—and it was such a great day overall. The sunset sail was easily the highlight 😭! The sunset was stunning 🌅, and the sea was so peaceful—it totally relaxed me. We chose a double-masted sailboat that held around 20 people, which wasn’t too crowded. Everyone was just quietly enjoying the moment, and the boat was nice and new. They also served beer, wine, and cocktails 🍻—it was 100% worth it! Friends, go for it ASAP 👊. #DayTrip #ILoveSeafood #Oysters #RhodeIslandFood #RhodeIslandTravel #BostonDayTrips #NewYorkSurroundings #Newport #Sunset #SunsetOnASailboat
