FALL IN NEWPORT

A favorite season for locals and visitors alike, Fall in Newport is beautiful, and possibly one of the most under-rated seasons on the coast! September tends to be sunny and clear. It's a perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, though cooler, most of the time it is still sunny. Eventually, as October inches closer, the weather turns grayer and windy with a little more rain. November brings more frequent gray days, more rain, and more wind, but still plenty of opportunities to enjoy the many activities Newport has to offer. Fall is a perfect time to hit up those comfort food eateries, indoor activities or a local hike, foraging for mushrooms, and crabbing on the pier. Check the links below for more things to do as you Discover Newport - your adventure starts here!
