South County's town of Westerly, is so named for its position at the south-western tip of the
Rhode Island, and includes Watch Hill and Misquamicut, two highly popular summer
resort communities that fringe the Atlantic Ocean. Charming downtown
Westerly, with its wonderful Victorian architecture and beautifully
landscaped Wilcox Park, helped to earn the designation "one of the
twelve most distinctive destinations in the country." Tranquil Watch
Hill boasts lovely beaches and a waterfront village, making it a perfect
stop for oudoor dining, leisurely walks and antiquing.
Napatree Point
in Watch Hill is the essence of a tiny, hidden gem of a beach. Being a
protected bird sanctuary, it has great appeal to families with small
children. Unpretentious Misquamicut and its popular state beach offers a
wide array of attractions, exciting nightlife and summer-long events. A
Southern Rhode Island vacation in Westerly is a truly memorable experience that the whole
family will enjoy.
