Timeline

    The Fastnet Pub

    Grab a pint at The Fastnet Pub. It is the best place in Newport for live Irish music, and the atmosphere is great. Start here while the light is still good.

  2. 16:20

    International Tennis Hall of Fame

    Walk 13 minutes to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Arrive early to settle in. The venue is open until 17:00, so you have time to browse the art gallery and tennis memorabilia before the main event.

  3. 16:40

    Eastons Beach

    Head to Eastons Beach. It is a 25-minute walk from the Hall of Fame toward the WSW. This beach offers a wonderful view of the Cliff Walk and the ocean. As the sun sets toward the WNW, the sky will reflect off the water.

  4. 17:25

    Brick Alley Pub

    End the evening at Brick Alley Pub. Walk back 15 minutes to grab a meal. They serve a great lobster roll and clam chowder. The kitchen is open until 21:00, giving you plenty of time to eat after the sunset.

Local tip

The walk between the Hall of Fame and Eastons Beach is long (25 minutes). Pace yourself after your drink. Check the route for the most direct path along the waterfront.
