Parking in Newport
Parking in Newport is infamously not great. It will generally cost you a minimum of $20 per day during the summer. Here are a few public lots available that we'd recommend trying: 1) Gateway Center Lot (23 America's Cup Ave), 2) Mary Street Lot (Mary St and lower Church St), 3) Touro Street Lot (Entrance on Clarke St), 4) Long Wharf Lot (Long Wharf America's Cup Ave)
