Weekapaug, RI

Weekapaug is a quiet coastal enclave in Westerly, Rhode Island, tucked between the open Atlantic Ocean and the calm waters of Winnapaug and Quonochontaug salt ponds. Home to around 500 year-round residents, the neighborhood is known for its classic shingle-style summer cottages, breezy beaches, and the historic Weekapaug Inn. While the summer months bring a lively influx of vacationers and boaters, the area returns to a peaceful, close-knit seaside rhythm throughout the rest of the year.

For residents, day-to-day life centers around the water alongside easy access to essential services. Local students attend Westerly Public Schools, and the Weekapaug Fire District oversees local roads, security, and beach access. Everyday necessities, grocery stores, restaurants, and medical offices are only a ten-minute drive away in downtown Westerly, with larger employment hubs and transit connections readily available in nearby Mystic and New London.
