HISTORIC DOWNTOWN WESTERLY

Walk or drive the short couple of miles to this quaint walking village filled with charming boutiques, stores with antique treasures, art galleries and a wide variety of locally owned run eating and drinking establishments.

Wilcox Park

“The people shall have a park.” So saying, in 1898 Harriet Wilcox purchased and donated to the Memorial and Library association the seven acre Rowse Babcock estate in the heart of Westerly’s business district. Established as a memorial to her husband Stephen Wilcox, the moving force behind the building of the library, the park was expanded through several smaller additions until 1905. At this time, the purchase of the adjacent nine acre Brown estate essentially fixed the park’s boundaries as we know them today.  Wilcox Park features a beautiful landscape defined by an open meadow area with surrounding trees, a fish pond, monuments and perennial gardens.

VISIT THE SHORE

Recognized for the beautiful beaches and access to Long Island Sound, Westerly is a destination for beach activities and also Sport Fishing. Watch Hill is a high bare bluff on its easterly side with several large hotels, including the well-known Ocean House, and majestic summer homes.

Watch Hill

Sandy beaches, historical and architectural treasures and the nation’s oldest “free flying” carousel await your visit to the quaint coastal village.  From the Ocean House, Rhode Island’s only five star resort, to the Watch Hill Lighthouse and Museum to the ruins of Fort Mansfield at Napatree Point, Watch Hill delivers much more than boutique shopping, local flavor, art galleries and miles of beaches.
