Watch Hill, Rhode Island - 07/31/01 05:59 PM
After being disappointed in not being able to go to Nags Head (Can you believe the owners wanted to use the house the same week as me????), I scrambled to find a beach vacation and came up with this little gem. I always heard about this area but this was my first visit. I found a room at the historic Watch Hill Inn http://www.watchhillinn.com/ for a midweek - 4day/3night trip.
The beaches were nice (a little seaweedy but good body surfing)[not Long Island white sand beaches.}
Lobster rolls were excellent.
Harbor was beautiful.
Area was old New England Victorian.
20 minutes from Foxwoods(gambling).
Westerly State beach nearby - very touristy.
And yes Virginia there is a Lighthouse looking very much like Beavertail on the end of a peninsula doted with huge awesome Victorian Beach houses. (Even saw a butler on the porch of one in his white jacket.)
No pictures, didn't take my camera but will definitely stop there again soon on my way to Boston.
