Best Places to Watch the Sunset in Westerly, RI
East Beach, Watch Hill
This beach is hard to reach as there isn’t public parking, but it is one of the nicest in Rhode Island. You can also access the same view from the private beach of the Ocean House Inn.
Napatree Point
Napatree Point is one of my favorite places to be in the Rhode Island. If you are just wanting a short walk, you can still get a view of the Watch Hill Lighthouse. Alternatively, you can take a long walk down the sandy peninsula to see various interesting birds.

I must admit that we love to chase great sunset views. The range of colours in the Rhode Island sunsets you showcased would make me want to spend several nights to catch more than one of these great views. I love the variety in the settings for the sunsets tool. I might even have to get a lens ball finally!
