Local moves

·

Watch Hill beach is largely resident-restricted in summer -- non-residents walk from the Atlantic Ave public strip.

·

Bike from Westerly or Misquamicut along Atlantic Ave to access Watch Hill without the parking problem.

·

The Napatree Point barrier spit west of the carousel is free and accessible on foot -- no cars allowed.

·

Visit on a weekday in early June or after Labor Day -- Watch Hill off-season is beautiful and relaxed.
