A beautiful evening walk wtih my mother in the quaintest little town imaginable. If you’ve seen Dan in Real Life<\/i>, you’ll recognize a lot of the locations – much of it was filmed in Watch Hill. It’s nice to be there off-season when you’re the only ones around. And the nice thing about the beach, unlike a lot of Rhode Island beaches, is that it is kind of isolated and hard to get to. There’s a really interesting history here – Napa Tree Point was wiped off the face of the planet in the hurricane of 1938 – and you can see why … it’s a long thin strip of sand, completely unprotected. One little girl on Napa Tree Point was hanging on to the joist of her house when the whole thing washed away, and poor little thing floated all the way to Stonington, Connecticut. Stories abound. But boy, is it beautiful. There’s an old carousel in town, and cute little houses and stores lining the main drag. And a lighthouse out on a point.<\/p>\n

We were on the beach right at “magic hour” (or “magic 20 minutes”) when the sunset hits the houses at just the right angle and all of the windows flame out into blazing red and orange.<\/p>\n
