My favorite gorgeous beach. Waves are rough and there are no lifeguards so be careful. Taylor Swift’s house overlooks the beach. To find the entrance, park in downtown Watch Hill. Get there early. Parking is limited. Walk up past the carousel and just keep walking until you are facing a huge set of gates. (Taylor’s house)The entrance to the beach is a path just the gates.
