With so much gorgeous shoreline, there is no doubt that Rhode Island has some incredible coastal communities. Some are busier than others, but there is one unspoiled beach town where life seems to slow down a little bit. From a quaint downtown to a picturesque shore, most will agree that Watch Hill is one of New England’s most charming spots.

Watch Hill is a 629-acre village in the town of Westerly. Stunning homes are found on the rolling landscape along the shore.

On the back side of Napatree Point is a charming little harbor. Watch the boats come and go from this coastal paradise.

Downtown is full of fun shops and eateries. Spend some time wandering along the sidewalks and see what catches your eye.
