Welcome to Misquamicut Beach
Surf, Sun & Sand
Boardwalk to Misquamicut Beach Spanning seven miles from Watch Hill to Weekapaug, this is Rhode Island's longest stretch of beach with its pristine waters and white sand. Misquamicut Beach features an array of activities for the entire family, including our state of the art Pavilion with plenty of parking. Activities include amusement parks with a carousel, mini-golf, go-carts, batting cages, kiddy rides and more. Water Slides, paddle boats and Jet Ski's keep you moving in the summer sun. Misquamicut Beach is the perfect place to ride the waves.
Enjoy native lobsters, steamers and swordfish from Block Island sound on the beach at our area's best restaurants including Paddy's, Andrea and Pleasant View. Stop by Sam's Snack bar for some clam strips or see Maria at Little Mermaids for breakfast and lunch. How about taking a stroll along the breachway and sample the Seafood Haven's award winning chowder and fritters? While at that end of the beach you can stop by the New Breachway Market for a grinder or the Tiki Guy for your surf supplies. Also stop by the Beach Store for all of your supplies from sun tan lotion to tee-shirts.
The fun doesn't set with the sun. There is plenty of nightlife for couples and singles alike.
