The fog hadn't lifted all the way so you didn't get the views of the ocean. If you go to King's Beach Fishing Site beware the dirt road to it has many pot holes. It was amazing to see all the new "mansions" going up.

A beautiful oceanview drive for anyone and everyone.

I know it's called Ocean Drive but you really need to walk part of it if possible. So much you miss when in your car.
Great photo opportunities. I loved it. Beautiful homes, ocean views, greenery and architecture. A must see besides the mansions.

Newport's Ocean Drive can be classified one of the top attractions ,as are the mansions. While the mansions are quite magnificent, they have the scent of tourism, but touring them is interesting, just the same.
However, If you truly enjoy an simple, non-commercialized day out, Ocean Drive and Brenton Point State Park are free and more enjoyable. On a clear,...
