Brenton Point State Park

Brenton Point State Park is a state park on the coastline of Newport, Rhode Island. It offers a wide variety of activities and presents a spectacular view of the Atlantic, Beavertail Lighthouse of Jamestown and a marvelous sunset. Rich in history, hikers can see the remains of what was once a prosperous estate just off the walking trails of the park. Brenton Point offers visitors woodsy trails to explore, restrooms, picnic tables, kite-flying, hiking, gentle rock-climbing, fishing, picture-taking, or just a place to sit and relax.

An introduction to Brenton Point State Park

History

The land on which the state park resides once belonged to William Brenton, an American Colonial official who moved from England to Rhode Island in 1673. He was the governor and deputy governor of Newport from 1660 – 1668 and resided at his estate, Hammersmith farm, part of which is now Brenton Point State Park. The land next passed to Theodore Davis, a lawyer and famous Egyptologist, who in 1889 constructed the “Reef”, a large, shingled mansion characterized by its tall chimneys, distinctive tower and wide windows overlooking the sea. Davis also built the grand stables known as the Carriage House the remains of which visitors may still see today and the Tower, with a four-faced clock and musical chimes visitors today can still climb to get a better view of the area around the Point and the servants quarters called the Bungalow, today home to Park Administration and bathrooms of Breton Point. In 1941 and the army took control of the land and it was used as the Coastal Artillery Battery until 1946. In July 1960 and the main house was destroyed by a fire and finally torn down in 1963. In 1969 and the State of Rhode Island took over the property and in 1976 it was finally opened to the public as a state park. Though the main house was destroyed and the beautiful farmlands and gardens of the old Hammersmith estate are now overgrown by trees and underbrush and the State park still offers a wide field for kites and picnics, woodsy trails for adventuring and viewing the old Carriage House and Tower and a long stretch of rocky shore for fishing, climbing, shell collecting, or just relaxing.

Landscape===

The landscape of the state park is a varying one. Starting from the shore and the park offers a long, winding coastline of large, flat rocks on which to climb. When the tide retreats, water is trapped in inlets of the rock, making Breton Point a good place for gathering starfish, crabs, snails, shells and other tide swimmingpool sea life. Father back, a wide green field provides a location for visitors to picnic, throw a ball back and forth, fly a kite, or lie back to watch the clouds. Surrounding this field is a small woodsy area hiding the Carriage house and Tower from direct sight of the road.

How is the Climate in Brenton Point State Park

The temperature of the state park varies greatly depending on where you stand. Close to the shore and the cool breeze off the water often makes the temperature appear much cooler than it is inland. Especially during spring and early fall, it might not be a bad idea to bring a sweatshirt to walk the shoreline. During the winter, a jacket is definitely advisable.

Get in

If you try to look up directions on MapQuest, you will get a complicated set of directions that will take you on a bunch of narrow backroads. In my opinion and the best thing to do is to stick to the primary streets (America's Cup and Bellevue, if you're coming from the Newport Bridge). Plus, you'll get a great view of the shops downtown and the mansions on Bellevue!

• Brenton Point is located halfway down Ocean Drive in Newport.
• From the Newport Bridge, take the first exit to RI-238, towards scenic Newport. At the end of the exit ramp, take a right onto RI-238. At the second light, turn right onto America’s Cup Avenue. America’s Cup will turn into Memorial Boulevard. Follow this to the first traffic light and then take a right onto Bellevue Avenue. Follow Bellevue Avenue until forced to turn right onto Ocean Avenue. Follow Ocean Avenue to Brenton Point State Park.
• From Mount Hope Bridge, take RI-114 into Newport. Continue onto Broadway. Continue on Washington Plaza. Take a sharp left at Touro Street. Continue to Bellevue Avenue. Follow Bellevue Avenue until forced to turn right onto Ocean Avenue. Follow Ocean Avenue to Brenton Point State Park.
• From RI-24 in Tiverton, continue straight onto RI-114. Continue onto Broadway. Continue on Washington Plaza. Take a sharp left at Touro Street. Continue to Bellevue Avenue. Follow Bellevue Avenue until forced to turn right onto Ocean Avenue. Follow Ocean Avenue to Breton Point State Park.

Brenton Point State Park is free for all to enjoy. There are no fees for the park and the shore, or the hiking trails and the bathrooms are free for all to use.

What to see in Brenton Point State Park

The shoreline of Newport stretches to the left and right of the point, giving viewers a long sight of the coast. The coast itself is a picturesque view, waves crashing onto a jagged shoreline while a lone fisherman casts his line. Beyond him, Rhode Island sound stretches out and there are often fishing boats and sailboats adrift in its waters. In the distance, Beavertail lighthouse of Jamestown is just visible.

From the park, green grass stretches in all directions, abruptly ending in a line of trees and dense brush that seems to go on forever. To the adventurous newcomer, however, an opening in the trees is not hard to discover and a large, airy building, crumbling yet still majestic, presents itself. Thit is the remains of the old Carriage House, a ruin that will leave viewers wondering at its original splendor. To the left and right an unpaved path stretches and any in the mood for a long walk will find themselves on a journey through the woodsier part of Newport. Those on the right trail will shortly discover the Tower, a large stone structure stretching upwards higher than the Carriage house. Though at one point in time a stone staircase wound itself around the tower to the top, many of the lower stairs were broken off over time and a newer staircase was constructed beside the tower so that visitors might still have a chance to experience the view from the top. At the top, one can see far over the trees, out into the blue of the Atlantic. The Carriage house is just visible over the tops of the leafy trees surrounding it. Stretching all around is a dense forest of lush green trees.

What to do in Brenton Point State Park

• The shoreline is a wonderful place to walk or climb along the rocks, which hide hundreds of tide pools swimming with undersea life waiting to be discovered. Many find the fishing at Brenton Point enjoyable, while others prefer to sit on the rocks or at the wall taking pictures of the rocky coast.
• The park is a popular place to picnic while watching the kites soar overhead. There is plenty of room for a game of ball or for walking a dog. The al.com/ Newport Kite Festival takes place during the month of July, drawing visitors from all over for kite-flying demonstrations, kite battles, kite sales and lots of kite-flying. The woods behind the park are good for walking, hiking, exploring, discovering nature and viewing the historical old Carriage House and Tower hidden within the trees.
