Review & FAQ:

Misquamicut State Beach isn't actually in Mystic, but it's only a 15 minute drive away over towards Westerly, Rhode Island. The first thing that stands out about Misquamicut State Beach is its size. This is a very big beach with more than enough space to handle the large numbers of locals and tourists that love to spend sunny summer days down by the shore. The sand here is white and soft, very comfortable for beach-goers who just want to laze around for a few hours and enjoy an extended sunbathing session.

Many other beach activities can be enjoyed here too, with rental stores offering jet skis and other water sports equipment for affordable prices. There's also a cute little carousel for families with children, and lots of good eateries, bars, and accommodation options can be found just a short walk away from this beach. Saltwater fishing is also popular in the Misquamicut area, and there's a boat launch site at one end of Misquamicut State Beach, with various fishing charters operating nearby as well.
