The area is known for its scenic attractions, such as the Newport Cliff Walk, which starts at the South End trailhead on Bellevue Avenue, and Gooseberry Beach, a popular spot with lifeguards and a snack bar in the summer. Ballard Park, a 13-acre meadow with walking trails, offers seasonal events like the Illuminated Garden walks in winter.
