Inhabiting the southeasternmost tip of Middletown in the state of Rhode Island, the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge is a series of diverse wetlands that covers an area of 242 acres (97.93 hectares). Its serene shorelines, elegant mansions and verdant promontories allure tens of thousands of visitors every year, making it one of the most-frequented attractions in Newport County. Passing sailboats and a beautiful view of the Newport mansions can be seen along the shoreline of this lovely park.
Third Beach is not an oceanfront beach; it faces Narragansett Bay. Small and quiet, this beach is popular with families. The surf is calm, making it easy to play in the water. Bath houses and facilities for changing are available, but parking is limited. Bird watchers may also catch a glimpse of favorite species from a nearby bird sanctuary. Sunsets are lovely to watch from this eastern section of the beach, making this a great spot to end a beach day.
El Parque Riverwalk & Waterplace se encuentra junto a la confluencia de los ríos Woonasquatucket y Providence, en un pequeño rincón del centro de Providence. El lugar es famoso por los eventos WaterFire, una colección de minifogatas que se mecen sobre las aguas al ritmo de la música clásica y del mundo. La ciudad revitalizó la zona entera en 1994 y este sendero logró convertir un paseo aburrido en una aventura maravillosa por College Hill sobre el puente Washington Street. Los puentes del parque están hechos a semejanza de los puentes clásicos de Venecia y es bastante común ver góndolas surcando las aguas del río.
Cliff Walk is an iconic 3.5-mile (5.6-kilometer) path that stretches along breathtaking views of the roaring, azure ocean on one side and the historic Newport Mansions on the other.

Strap on your walking shoes and tread along the scenic path to take in unmatched views and learn about some of the historic buildings and abodes of the town—a must-have experience for all.

Purgatory Chasm is a tiny strip of State Park enveloping a gorgeous view of the open ocean just steps from the park entrance. In the park, visitors can stand on a wooden bridge and admire a deep chasm and the rushing waters from the safety of distance, or take a brisk nature walk along the trail. The other trails at Purgatory Chasm end on the rocky cliffs, which forces hikers to turn back quickly.
