NEWPORT, R.I. (WPRI) — The search picked back up Monday morning in Newport for the swimmer who went missing off the coast of Ocean Drive.

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) said a man in his 20s went into the water around 5 p.m. Sunday in the 12 O’Clock High area.

The popular spot — located off Ocean Avenue on the north end of the Brenton Point shoreline near Castle Hill Inn — is a rocky area where people tend to jump off the rocks into the water.

Locals describe the area as being very dangerous if you are not familiar with the landscape.
