With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Weekapaug Beach, 60 miles away, has to offer. Misquamicut State Beach should be at the top of your to-do list here. The Flying Horse Carousel and Water Wizz of Westerly are must-see attractions too. Don’t miss Westbrook Town Beach either! Just 20 miles away, Essex Steam Train, Hammonasset Beach State Park and Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets are essential stops here.
