Misquamicut State Beach, State beach in Westerly, United States.
Misquamicut State Beach extends along a half-mile of Atlantic Ocean beachfront, featuring sandy shores between Watch Hill and Weekapaug in Rhode Island.
The establishment of the state beach in 1959 followed major hurricanes in 1938, 1944, and 1954 that prompted Governor Dennis Roberts to initiate condemnation proceedings.
The beach area transforms into an entertainment venue during summer evenings with one of only two drive-in movie theaters operating in Rhode Island.
The James J. Federico Jr State Beach Pavilion provides visitors with composting toilets, outdoor showers, concession stands, and lifeguard services throughout the season.
A 2015 restoration project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers returned 30,000 cubic yards of sand to rebuild the shoreline after Hurricane Sandy.
