Sitting on the south shore of Rhode Island, the town of Westerly is a quiet residential community in the winter, swelling in the summer to accommodate tourists eager to explore the local beaches, Narragansett Bay and the Rhode Island Sound. Just over the border from Connecticut, Westerly is conveniently located to the Aquarium at Mystic, as well as the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos. Nearby, the picturesque village of Watch Hill features ocean views, ice cream shops, and craft boutiques.

Watch Hill bird sanctuary.
We came for Memorial Day and got there about 10:30. Thankfully it wasn’t very crowded. You pass the watch hill yacht club and walk over the dunes and drop down on to this beautiful beach. It goes way out into the water and has beach on both sides. There are great views of the watch hill light house and all the boats. It’s the only place we have been that you can play on the dunes. There isn’t much public parking so go early. 2 hours free on the street and 2 hours free in the shopping parking lot; or spend 20-30 dollars for all day in the paid lot. This is a must visit beach in RI, off season or now during covid is probably the best time to go.

Proudly located in the seaside city of Westerly, Grey Sail Brewing of RI is southern Rhode Island's premier microbrewery equipped to produce up to 4,000 barrels of handcrafted beer per year. We are open for tours and tastings every Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.
Grey Sail Brewing is an awesome local brewery located in downtown Westerly. It’s hidden back yard bungalow is the coolest part! Not only do they offer delicious wood fired pizza and live music, they are dog friendly! They also offer local wine on tap if you’re not in the mood for beer. The staff is very friendly and kind. I’d recommend this for any visit. The backyard games, including a bocci court, corn hole, dart board, and board games keep the party going! I’d highly recommend this as a go to location for a good time!

Great place to enjoy the ocean and views. From the light house grounds on a clear day you can see Napatree Point , RI, Misquamicut Beach, RI, Stonington, CT, Fishers Island, NY, the north and south forks of Long Island, NY, Block Island, RI, and Tyler Swift's 22 room house. Quite a vista.

The beach is wide and long. Some places near by make it private. The beach is soft beige sand. Lovely view. Easy to get in and out of the water.

Rhode Island's largest and most popular beach will be handicap accessible.
I had no idea Rhode Island beaches were so beautiful. A hidden gem when so many might crowd Nantucket and Cape Cod, this place is special. The beach is well cared for and frequented by locals. Covid definitely left it’s mark on things but also likely we were a bit late in season. Nonetheless there are good options for places to stay. I found this a great area for short day trips too - Block Island, Boston, Newport etc.
