Hotels in Misquamicut

Misquamicut would be a typical New England beach town, except that its surf is anything but typical. Because of its unique location on Block Island Sound, waves in Misquamicut are often 10 feet or higher. The quaint town, which is filled with Misquamicut hotels, surf shops and lobster shacks, comes alive in the summer, bringing visitors from all over New England and further. When you’re ready to visit this charming beach town, remember to visit Orbitz.com, where you’ll have access to some of the best rates on your hotel accommodation, flights and rental cars.

Beach District

Misquamicut’s shoreline spans 7 miles between upscale Watch Hill and Weekapaug. Although the town is dotted with public and private beaches, the most popular stretch of beach is the Misquamicut State Beach. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to surf, boogie board, ride paddle boats or just have fun in the sun. Your kids will enjoy the big-screen movies shown on the beach every Tuesday evening in the summer, as well as the Hermit Crab races at the Purple Ape and the fireworks on Monday nights.

The Sandcastle Beach Front Inn (oceanviewinns.com) is nestled between Paddy’s Beach and Lawson Avenue Beach near the beginning of the beach way. It offers single and double rooms with panoramic views of the water. Room rates start at $170 per night.

The Pleasant View Inn (pvinn.com) is located on the south shores of Misquamicut. It features an in-ground pool, a private beach and tennis courts. It has two on-site dining choices: a casual poolside tavern and a more formal dining room. Rooms offer either a street side or ocean view, and there are a few poolside rooms and suites available. Rates start at $99 per night.
