About Westerly, Rhode Island
Westerly’s landscape unfolds with a gentle, sun-drenched character, where the land slopes with quiet dignity towards the Atlantic's insistent murmur. It lies 14.2 miles east of New London, CT (from New London, CT: bearing 84°T), and is situated 0.3 miles east of Pawcatuck. Here, the terrain is a subtle interplay of rolling hills, softened by the passage of seasons, and the more direct, sandy embrace of its renowned coastline. The air carries the brine and the faint sweetness of pine, a constant reminder of the sea’s proximity and the forested interior that shelters it. Even in the midday sun, there’s a certain softness to the light that falls upon the weathered clapboard houses and the broad, tree-lined avenues, lending a timeless quality to the scene. The history of Westerly is deeply entwined with the industries that have shaped its fortunes, from the granite quarried in its stony hills, a material that has built structures far and wide, to the robust fishing fleets that once brought their bounty ashore. This legacy of hard work and resourcefulness is still palpable, though the economy has diversified, with tourism now drawing visitors to its picturesque beaches and charming village centers. The Pawcatuck River, a placid ribbon of water, continues to define the western edge of Westerly, a boundary and a conduit that has witnessed centuries of trade and settlement, its banks lined with remnants of old mills and the quiet hum of contemporary life.
