Visit Watch Hill Beach RI

By Angela Briggs


Generations of visitors have enjoyed a memorable vacation at Watch Hill Beach RI. This outstanding location has so much to offer, everyone from young families to retired couples will find more than enough to keep them busy. Most people say they are already planning their next visit before they even leave.

The beaches are located at the very end of an awe inspiring peninsula. The views out over Block Island Sound are inspiring to artists and visitors alike. This south west corner of Washington County Rhode Island is also conveniently close to other big attractions like Mystic Seaport. Many visitors arrive each year from Boston, which is only around eighty miles to the north.

One of the best places to visit is the local lighthouse. Lighthouses are so symbolic of the region and really create that nautical feeling. Many people like to take home a photograph or painting of the lighthouse to remind them of their visit. It makes a beautiful walk on a summer day, or even in the crisp days of the fall. Scheduling a tour of the building is also a great addition to the trip.

The waters around this part of Rhode Island are clean and relatively warm. Many people enjoy a refreshing swim, whilst others are content to just paddle around. Generations of families just keep coming back so that their children can enjoy the same happy memories they themselves have. There are plenty of family friendly accommodations to chose from, ranging from inexpensive motel suites to campgrounds and guest houses.

Many of the hotels are family run. They know what their guests want and need. Service is friendly and any extra needs such as special diets and cribs are not a problem. With so much to do this is the perfect place to get away for a few days. New York City is only about two and a half hours away, putting it within easy distance of a long weekend get away. During the peak summer months it is vital to book early as many places are full months in advance. It is very disappointing to drive all the way only to find there are no rooms available.

Golfers will really enjoy a trip to the Watch Hill area. There are plenty of local courses that offer a challenging round of golf in spectacular scenery. Many people have reported that the courses are among the best they have ever played, with something for all skill levels.

Most people want to stop off and do a little shopping. There are some outstanding local craft stores where shoppers can meet the artisans themselves. Many people are quite happy to show their visitors their unique crafts and even let the kids have a try at making something.

During the months of July and August the Watch Hill Beach RI area plays host to many special events. There are concerts, art festivals, lobster suppers and much more. Visitors should check in with the local tourist information office to find out what is going on whilst they are staying.
