Newport's popular urban beach will return for the summer of 2026, providing residents and visitors with a free, family-friendly waterfront experience. The temporary beach, typically set up along the city's riverfront, features imported sand, lounge chairs, and water play areas.
According to city officials, the beach is scheduled to open in late June and remain operational through early September, weather permitting. Exact dates and hours of operation are expected to be announced on the city's official website and social media channels.
The urban beach has become a seasonal tradition in Newport, drawing thousands of visitors each year. It offers a unique way to enjoy the summer without traveling to the coast, and all amenities are provided free of charge thanks to municipal funding and local sponsorships.
