Most travelers will visit Rosecliff via personal vehicle or bus tour—there’s ample parking for vehicles of all lengths (Theresa needed room for her guests’ carriages, after all). You can also access Rosecliff from Newport’s famous 3.5-mile (6-kilometer) Cliff Walk, using Belmont Beach and Marine Avenue to approach from the coast.
Plan your trip for after September 1, 2023—Rosecliff and its Gilded Age siblings closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and are some of the last museums to reopen. Once you’ve settled on an open day, try to come around opening time (typically 10am) to avoid the buses, tour groups, and growing crowds.
Rosecliff overlooks Sheep Point Cove, with the beautiful (but rocky) Belmont Beach below. This beach is open to the public, is often empty, and connects to the Cliff Walk. To the north you’ll find The Breakers; to the south, you’ll find the Marble House—both are spectacular Gilded Age gems that rival Rosecliff in opulence. If you can, plan a separate day to take in this stretch of the Cliff Walk and its exquisite views.
