Misquamicut blends surf-side living with small-town convenience along one of New England’s broadest ocean beaches. Days often start at Misquamicut State Beach, where lifeguards, a sweeping boardwalk, concessions, and ample parking make seaside routines easy. Families gravitate to Atlantic Beach Park and its vintage carousel, while thrill-seekers rocket down the slides at Water Wizz. The season hums with outdoor concerts and festivals, and sunsets over Winnapaug Pond rarely disappoint. Anglers cast for striped bass from the jetties, and early risers catch surf sessions before the beach day begins.
Just minutes from downtown Westerly, residents enjoy independent shops, restaurants, and rail access, with quiet streets at home when the tide turns in. Nature lovers paddle the salt pond and wander the protected dunes at the Napatree Point Conservation Area, near Watch Hill. Everyday needs are covered by the Town of Westerly, and the Charlestown coastline adds even more trailheads and coves to explore. Weekend errands are simple with grocery, healthcare, and hardware options close by.
Students attend Westerly Public Schools, known for strong arts, career pathways, and competitive athletics. Beyond the classroom, Westerly Library & Wilcox Park anchors community life with programs for all ages.
