At the turn of the 20th century, Watch Hill established itself as a resort community with numerous grand hotels and beach “cottages.” By the mid 1900s, all of the hotels burned down with the exception of one, The Ocean House. This historic hotel at the top of Plimpton Avenue has been renovated and opened in June, 2010
During the summer and fall months, the area’s weather is perfect for a walk to Fort Mansfield at the end of Napatree Point. The hike offers spectacular views of Fisher’s Island, Stonington Borough, and Mystic, Connecticut. For additional information, please see our Parks and Links sections.
