Great place to explore which includes an abandoned military base of sorts. There is also a park and beach areas too. Nice place to take your camera or just show up for some walking or hiking too.
Historic fort adorned with modern graffiti art. Picturesque views of Newport and the Atlantic.
I found it to be crowded this time, but most other times and was pretty bare. I still love it tho.
The scenery is spectacular, unfortunately the park service has not maintained it as the old fort was covered in graffiti. Obviously used for deleterious activities.
Though completely painted with graffiti, the fort is a cool place to visit if you're in the area. There are numerous breaks in the low fencing surrounding the fort so accessing the ruins is simple. Just watch your step and mind the holes and ledges... this was fenced off for a reason. Climb to the top or follow the trails around the backside to find a beautiful rock outcrop over the ocean. It's a nice spot to watch the sunset or sunrise as there's mostly water to the east(ish) and west(ish). There's also a nice view of the Pell/Newport bridge, which looks cool in the twilight when the lights first kick on but it's still light enough to see the lines of the bridge...bring a zoom lens. Parking is fairly limited, but it wasn't too busy when we visited on a Friday evening. There's a few other nice spots not far away if the lot is full here (Beavertail and Brenton both also provide wonderful sunset views).
