Could this be a glimpse of the future for Easton’s Beach? The City of Newport is calling on residents and visitors to help shape what’s next for the beloved oceanfront landmark. Last month, officials wrapped up a series of public meetings as part of a broader effort to reimagine Easton’s Beach, culminating in the unveiling of four preliminary design concepts. From a modern open-air pavilion to a set of elevated structures connected by scenic boardwalks, the concepts aim to offer both practical upgrades and bold new visions for the popular shoreline destination. At the final workshop on June 30, consultants presented key takeaways from community input and revealed the early-stage proposals. Now, city leaders say it’s time for the public to weigh in once more. “This is a key midpoint in the planning process,” city officials said. “Your feedback now will help refine the concepts and guide the next round of public engagement.” Residents can explore the concept designs, take a short survey, and submit comments online at CityofNewport.com/FutureBeach. The survey closes July 31. The planning process is expected to continue through late 2025, with a final proposal heading to the Beach Commission and Newport City Council for approval and potential funding. Have your say now—because the future of Easton’s Beach starts with you. #eastonsbeach #newportri #newportbuzz

Newport is fortunate to have nearly a dozen world- Newport is fortunate to have nearly a dozen world-class museums sprinkled along Bellevue Avenue. On July 8, a select group of industry insiders gathered for the debut of The Carriage House at The Elms (@elmscarriagehouse)—a new collaboration between the Preservation Society of Newport County and Stoneacre Hospitality. Trudy Coxe reminded guests that a grab-and-go café once occupied the space 10 to 15 years ago, before the property was restored to its current splendor. She thanked Cassandra Van Cott and Gary Beer for championing this new dining concept, which is poised to become a favorite lunch spot for both locals and visitors. Van Cott, in turn, shared praise for Mark Taber, Director of Properties, along with @kirbyperkins Construction, and “two wonderful partners”—Stoneacre Hospitality’s Chris Bender and Nicole Canning—who first teamed up with the @newport.mansions three years ago at The Chinese Tea House. “This is an extension of synergies,” Van Cott declared. Board member Dale Venturini, who led the Rhode Island Hospitality Association for 30 years, emphasized that “hospitality is the lifeblood of Rhode Island,” urging everyone to celebrate the occasion. “This place makes me want to get married again,” she quipped, before inviting guests to raise their glasses. Many of those glasses were filled with Via Carota Craft Cocktails, served on the patio by Mia Lupo. The event drew many familiar faces from Discover Newport, including Alex Hurd, Kathryn Farrington, Tim Walsh, and Pam Blauvelt. It was especially heartening to see former CEO Evan Smith saunter in after a day of volunteering at Tennis Week. Though retired, Smith is still proudly representing Newport—he was recently elected to the board of the Preservation Society and was that evening promoting the city’s Sister City relationship with Kinsale, Ireland. At one point, Smith asked Anna Cremin if she was from Kinsale. “Cork,” she replied with a smile, “but do ye know Paul Shea?” #buzzingaroundnewport #newportmansions #newportbuzz #newportri
