The best local shops in Westerly

“Whether you're cruising past the cove in Watch Hill, The Stand by William Wright & Co is the spot for peak-season local veggies, gorgeous flowers, gourmet cheese, and a scoop of Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream. Follow their recipes and quarterly newsletter, then build dinner like a smug seasonal wizard.”

“For thirty years, Bay Breeze Interiors has been the local go to for unique gifts, fine antique furniture, nautical rarities, and those polished brands like Simon Pearce and Smathers & Branson. Bonus, they do in-store wedding registries and ship, so your last-minute gifting habit looks very intentional.”

“Whether you're planning a wedding or just need a Tuesday pick-me-up, Broadview Florist & Garden Center turns stems into statements.”

“Island Outfitters nails that Rhode Island mix of polished and laid back with men’s and women’s apparel, swim, and shoes, plus accessories from Peter Millar, Helly Hansen, Marine Layer, Holebrook, and Olukai.”

“Three generations strong and serving Downtown Westerly for 78 years, Nigrelli's Jewelry has one of the largest men's and women's bridal ring collections around, award-winning status for both jewelry and gifts, and a reputation for service after the sale that keeps locals coming back.”

“For over 120 years, Woodmansee's Gifts & Boutique has styled Westerly with fair-trade, locally crafted women’s clothing, handcrafted jewelry, and accessories that actually feel good to wear.”

“Between RI-made John Medeiros pieces, Dune Jewelry filled with local beach sand, and shelves of Brighton, Vera Bradley, and downright dangerous Hauser’s Truffles, The Eagle's Nest Gallery nails the “Made in America” vibe. It’s a go-to for gifts, local art, and personalized pottery that actually feels thoughtful.”

“Woodees a Boutique is that low-key Westerly spot where knits, denim, easy dresses, and even some menswear actually feel curated, not chaotic. Their online shop shows a taste, but the fun is in-store where you'll find more textures, flannels, and pieces that make weekday coffee runs look intentional.”
