Very nice drive along the ocean but most of the drive was through residential areas. The actual "ocean" drive is great however. Very scenic. A must do when in Newport.

This drive is scenic and historic; beautiful homes and mansions face the churning ocean . Sailboats in season, as well as larger ships ply the waters of the bay. Take a picnic lunch and watch the activity on a warm day. There are several places to stop and take pictures. We've been coming here every few years since the 60's... More

We did this before we went to dinner. It was a really nice little drive with a lot of places to stop and take pictures or relax and watch the sunset. It would be a great picnic spot!

Very nice scenery of the Newport coast and views of beautiful houses along the shore. Small cozy beaches, stopped at one to just walk around.

The views of the water were amazing. There were alot of places to pull off to get a better look. I would recommend doing the drive in both directions...There are different views depending on what direction you are traveling
