Beaches in Watch Hill, Rhode Island

Most prominent is Watch Hill Beach (sometimes called Carousel Beach), right next to the antique carousel in the village center.

The daily beach fee gives you access to the beach, its changing rooms, showers and toilets, and the services of a lifeguard.

Lockers are available for rent to store your clothing, as are beach umbrellas (there's little other shade), beach chairs, and boogie boards (small flotant boards).

The sand is soft, the view fine, the location convenient.

East Beach, over the hill to the east, is longer, wider, less crowded, and not too far a walk from the town center (where you should park, as parking near the beach is very limited). Come here if you need more space to spread out or to play beach games.

Nappatree Point is even bigger (more than two miles long), and is a favorite with boaters, fishers and water--skiers.

Misquamicut Beach and Weekapaug Beach, while not strictly in Watch Hill, are close enough that you can enjoy them if you're staying for a few days in Watch Hill.
