A Rite Of Passage: Cliff Jumping In Newport

First things first. Do NOT dive. Got it? Do NOOOOTTTTTT dive!!!!

There are a few rites of passage when growing up in Newport.

Among them are jumping at Doris Duke’s, 12 O’Clock High, 40 Steps and Ft. Wetherill, playing in the suction at Elephant Rock and going in the underwater cave at Spouting Rock.

Let’s take a look!

We’ll tell you the names but we’re not giving you directions to get there.

Oh and PS – Please be careful, know where you’re jumping and what you’re jumping into.

In short. Don’t be reckless. Don’t be stupid. Be safe and only go with someone who knows the area well!!!
