One of the most popular beaches in the state, Misquamicut, attracts beach bums from all over New England, and the Andrea Hotel has been sitting smack in the middle of it all for a century. Weekend deck parties offer live music and DJs from 1 to 5 p.m.; refuel with the hotel's seafood-loving menu, and get ready for more music starting at 8. Before you crawl upstairs to your room for well-earned rest, be sure to slip off your shoes and onto the beach to enjoy some moonlit wave-side grooving.
