East Beach at Watch Hill

We have visited several ocean beaches throughout New England and I have always said that my all time favorite beach is Good Harbor. Sorry Good Harbor you have been replaced.

Last November we visited Watch Hill in Rhode Island and fell in love with the small seaside town. If you have a Taylor Swift fan in your life you may know she has a home, Holiday House, in Watch Hill.

During our August vacation and stay at the Mystic KOA we wanted to spend a few hours at a beach. My daughter requested returning to Watch Hill and this is where we found East Beach. Parking can be difficult, but since we went later in the afternoon we were able to park in a lot for about $15 for a couple hours. We had about a five minute walk to the beach. The path from the road to East Beach was beautiful.

East Beach is absolutely stunning. Its white soft sand, light house views, beautiful ocean views and waves galore it was the perfect place to spend the afternoon.

The day we visited the waves were a little higher than normal. We had so much fun playing in them.

We did not see any amenities or restrooms from where we were set up. There was a trailer with bathrooms at the parking lot. The downtown area is about a 10-15 minute walk to shops and restaurants. Overall we loved East Beach and it has now become my new favorite New England Beach.
