Misquamicut is a wide, sandy beach break located along the southern coast of Rhode Island near Westerly, offering mellow and forgiving waves that are well-suited for beginners and longboarders. The beach faces south-southeast, picking up groundswells generated across the Atlantic and locally from nor'easters, with fall delivering the most consistent and powerful surf of the year. Its long, open shoreline and sandy bottom make it one of Rhode Island's more approachable surf destinations, though summer crowds from beachgoers can make the lineup a bit tricky to navigate.
