Newport, Rhode Island is known for it's rich history, great restaurants, beautiful beaches, and the Cliff Walk. The Cliff Walk is a 3.5-mile stretch of shoreline that highlights the natural beauty of the ocean and passes by many of the beautiful mansions once owned by the giants of the Gilded Age.

On any given day the Cliff Walk is full of people enjoying the weather and the view. Here are a few that you'll probably run into.

1. The Serious Runner

While you're strolling along taking in the picturesque ocean view, these athletic men and women are narrowly avoiding running straight into you.

2. The Supermom

Diaper Bag? Check. Stroller? Check. Three children running around uncontrollably near the edge of a cliff? Check.

3. The Surfer

Whether it's 76 degrees or 36 degrees, if the sun is shining you can bet they'll be in the water.

4. The Dog Walker

What's short, furry, has four legs and floppy ears? Only the best part of your day. If you're lucky you'll always see at least two dogs swimming in the water and running up to people as they make their way down the cliff walk.

5. The Cute Elderly Couple

They hold hands, walk slowly and carefully, and take frequent breaks. They're also totally adorable and give you serious relationship goals.

6. The Tourists

Often traveling in herds, these groups come armed with millions of questions and an uncanny ability to get lost on a path that only goes in two directions.

7. The Overdressed Couple

This is the couple that just went to a nice dinner downtown and thought they'd check out the cliff walk while they had time. What seemed like a great idea soon turns into a world of pain as girls realize that their four-inch heels aren't exactly the best footwear for a rocky, muddy path.

8. The Cliff Jumpers

When the weather is warm you'll see locals and students leaping off the rocks into the refreshing water below. Is this completely safe? No. But is it fun? Yes.

9. The Professional Photographer

Whether it be a photo shoot for a wedding or just pictures of the beautiful scenery, these professionals are there with a camera bigger than your head to capture it all.

10. The Instagram Photographer

Sunsets. Sunsets everywhere.

11. The Salve Student

The cliff walk is right on the edge of campus, which means you'll always see some students from Salve Regina taking a walk or doing homework on it. However, these innocent students often fall prey to tourists who mistake them for tour guides. (No. It is not the Breakers, it's Ochre Court. Please stop asking.)

So the next time you're taking a walk keep your eyes peeled for these eleven people.
