Westerly
|
  
Named for its location on Connecticut’s border,
Westerly features expansive beaches, the wealthy
beach resort of Watch Hill and a downtown of stately
homes and inviting green space.
Million-dollar Victorian homes sit high in Watch
Hill, where summer turns to the historic Flying
Horse Carousel and flashes of the Watch Hill Light,
Rhode Island’s second oldest light station. Town
government, trains heading to New York and a budding
arts community drive life in downtown Westerly while
Wilcox Park sets a scenic stage for public
gatherings.
