A real gem for a short (or long) ocean side walk with amazing views, great birding and wonderful visitor center (small but good). More

We've visited Sachuest Point numerous times over the years and no matter what the season, there is always something to catch your attention. A major stop over for migrating birds, Sachuest is also the winter quarters for many northern species, the real "snowbirds". On our last visit, a particularly cold and windy February day, we came to see if we... More

If the weather is nice this is a great place to enjoy a nice walk on the trails. Great seascapes and plenty of birds to view. The walks are very easy. More

We easily completed the 2.8mile walk as it is flat and well maintained. The sites of the coast wer fabulous and we liked the chance to look out at one platform. It was not crowed, and everyone we came across was so friendly. The 2 volunteers in the facilities were very pleasant. Another great day here in Newport! More

Wow!!! What a nice getaway for a little while. We visited Newport in February and loved all the shops and bar/restaurants. We loved the CliffWalk but to get away from it all we loved Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge. There are two loops around the preserve that you can walk on, cinder trail and dirt. Together it 's just short... More

Love this stretch of unspoiled land along the water. A wonderful place to be outdoors and be alone with nature. Scenic and quietly beautiful. More

We drove to this beautiful location but did not take a hike through the trails because we had our dogs with us, and pets are not allowed. The view from our car was fantastic though and we are looking forward to returning soon, without our dogs. More
