About Fifth
Ward
Fifth Ward, located between Newport Harbor and Ocean Drive, is a residential and waterfront Newport neighborhood with clapboard cottages and working-marina views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Thames Street near the intersection with Wellington Avenue, where dockside bars, seafood kitchens, and chandlery storefronts set a salty, lived-in pace. Anchors include the Newport Shipyard, the Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Restaurant, and the International Yacht Restoration School. Side streets mix compact Capes and Victorian-era houses with porches facing narrow sidewalks. King Park frames the shoreline with a small beach and harbor outlooks. The waterfront edge shifts from moorings and boatyards to the open sweep of Ocean Drive.
