captivating perception on Rhode Island.
Watch
Hill, Rhode Island
Watch
Hill is a charming village that is situated along the coast of Block Island
Sound in the southwest corner of Washington County, Rhode Island. Watch Hill is
located on a peninsula that is surrounded by ocean, which adds to its
breathtaking beauty. Watch Hill is situated at a distance of only 80 miles from
Boston and 160 miles from New York and is famous for its coasts, history,
bird-watching, fishing, and splendid sunsets.
The
outdoor activities in Watch Hill consist of rowing, swimming, ocean sailing,
fishing, and hiking. In addition, local shops are filled with all kinds of
wares. Antiques, art, and excellent restaurants all come together to make this
a special resort area. If vacationers wish to venture outside Watch Hill, there
are a lot of local attractions that vacationers can enjoy. Watch Hill's
location between New York City and Boston makes it a supreme destination for
day trips. Though, vacationers may prefer to extend their visits and stay in
one of the local inns.
The
Niantic Indians occupied Watch Hill in the 1600s and were led for several years
by Chief Ninigret. Migrants later on moved in, and Watch Hill became a
strategic lookout spot during the French and Revolutionary Wars.
The
remarkable Watch Hill lighthouse was built in 1806. Throughout the early 20th
century, Watch Hill grew to resort status and harbored a lot of hotels and
beach cottages. In 1938, a great cyclone caused devastating destruction of the
villages and ruined virtually all the hotels and cottages of Watch Hill. In
spite of several changes over time, Watch Hill remains an isolated and a
seasonal resort community.
Watch
Hill is protected, calm, secure and easily accessible by car, boat, and air. It
is a visual heaven, a town full of history, shops, and magnificent Victorian
architectures to delight tourists.

ocean.
