Misquamicut is a popular tourist destination for both Rhode Island and Connecticut residents. The Connecticut shoreline is sheltered by Long Island Sound, and nearby Misquamicut Beach State Park offers what the Long Island Sound does not---large, ocean waves. Many family-owned and operated motels have sprung up in the area offering a choice of accommodations for those looking for some summer fun.
The three-story Sandy Shore Motel enjoys a prime waterfront location adjacent to the Misquamicut Beach State Park. The motel features its own private beach complete with lifeguard, ocean views from every room and wireless Internet access. Families can enjoy a meal on one of the motel's picnic tables while enjoying the water views, and then rest assured that the little ones will have a good night's sleep thanks to the motel's rules on quiet time after 10:00pm.
Standard rooms come with two double, one king or one queen bed. Small suites with two double beds are available, as well as fully-furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments.
