Compared to the surrounding area Westerly may seem like a big city, perhaps due to its history as a producer of granite and textiles, shipping them by train all over the country. Founded in the 1660's, it is on the banks of the Pawcatuck River at the Connecticut border.
		For beach go-ers, especially those seeking a little wave action, Misquamicut State Beach is the big kahuna for you! Misquamicut has just undergone major improvements including a new public pavilion, parking and beach restoration.
		More family fun can be found just across the street at Water Wizz, a modern water slide park -- a good choice if youngsters are onboard.
		The Flying Horse Carousel, more than 100 years old and beautifully historically restored, is a particular favorite among the youngsters.
		Shopping is also fun for visitors in Westerly. After visiting the special gift shops, enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner at many of the outdoor restaurants.
		Another great spot is Napatree Point, a beach famous to bird-watchers.
