Golf in Watch Hill

Watch Hill is one of New England's most exclusive summer communities, occupying the southwestern tip of Westerly on a peninsula where Little Narragansett Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. The village is known for its preservation of a Victorian resort aesthetic — the Ocean House hotel has been restored to its nineteenth-century grandeur, and the antique Flying Horse Carousel is the oldest platform carousel in the United States. Watch Hill's restricted access, limited parking, and community character have maintained the village's exclusivity. The surrounding beaches, particularly Napatree Point, are among the most unspoiled in Rhode Island, protected by their distance from the main beach resort corridors.
