If you’re looking for a leisurely pace, a great beach, good food, upscale boutiques and spectacular views, set a course for Watch Hill Harbor and Napatree Point. Veteran boaters have long appreciated the area’s long sand beach, protected anchorage and quick access to a town with good restaurants and interesting shops. However, if you plan to visit for more than a day, bring some essentials, as Watch Hill Harbor doesn’t have any large grocery stores or other places to reprovision. No fuel either, by the way.
A popular destination for Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York boaters is the anchorage behind Napatree Point, a mile-long sand spit extending west from Watch Hill. The area is part of Little Narragansett Bay, an estuary of about 320 square miles with an average MLW depth of about 7’. It’s a perfect anchorage for small to midsize boats.
