About
Purgatory
Purgatory, located between Easton’s Beach and Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, is a coastal and residential Newport East neighborhood with rocky shoreline trails and ocean-facing streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Purgatory Chasm trailhead off Tuckerman Avenue, where surf breaks, cliffside paths, and salt-air viewpoints set the pace. Low-slung beach cottages and shingled homes mix with mid-century builds, shaped by wind and water. The Cliff Walk’s eastern stretch frames long Atlantic views, while nearby dunes and ponds keep the landscape open. Local pillars include Sweet Berry Farm, The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar, and the Newport Art Museum.
