Welcome To Westerly

Enjoy The Beach

Westerly is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in New England, including Misquamicut Beach. In August the weather is ideal for soaking up the sun, taking a dip in the ocean or simply relaxing on the sand with a good book in hand. For those who enjoy walks along the shore, head to Naptree Point where you’ll find the Fort Mansfield ruins (about 2.5 miles round trip).

We recommend packing your beach essentials and taking full advantage of this quintessential Rhode Island town.

Live Like a Local.

Immerse yourself in the charm of Westerly’s Watch Hill neighborhood and explore the local gems.

Take a stroll down Bay Street, where you’ll find the historic Flying Horse Carousel, the oldest operating carousel in the United States. While you’re there, don’t miss St. Clair’s Annex, a beloved spot known for serving the best ice cream in town.

For breath taking scenery and a glimpse into area’s maritime history, head to the Watch Hill Lighthouse and Museum.
