This is a national park in Middletown, Rhode Island. It is a peninsula into the Atlantic Ocean with walking trails throughout. Many visit for viewing the seasonal bird populations and, at opportune times, snowy owls. The easterly shore is magnificently ragged. I had an “oh-shit” moment here. Perched atop a very high rock formation on the shore to take a picture during a storm, I was engulfed in a huge wave. On the way to the refuge is a beautiful beach, Second Beach, and nearby is Third Beach. The venues are very close to Newport. A great walk in Newport would involve enjoying the Cliff Walk. The magnificent mansions from Newport’s gilded era line the Cliff Walk, and there are many spots displaying gorgeous Atlantic vistas
