Quonochontaug is a summer resort area located in the town of Charlestown in southern Rhode Island. It's located between two salt ponds; Ninigret Pond and Quonochontaug Pond. The area known as Quonochontaug is comprised of three small beach communities; West Beach, Central Beach and East Beach. Each beach area is comprised of several hundred summer homes. Many of the homes are available as vacation rentals. Prior to the Great Hurricane of 1938, Quonochontaug was an active and "fashionable" resort area, full of hotels and boarding houses. As part of the town of Charlestown, this area of the state is often called "the best kept secret in Rhode Island." Miles and miles of secluded, soft sandy beaches offer everything from beachcombing and wind surfing to hiking, biking and camping. East Beach, also known as Ninigret Beach, is a 3-mile long barrier beach well-known for its' wind surfing opportunities. Other attractions in Charlestown include Ninigret Park, which contains the Frosty Drew Nature Center and Observatory. The park is also the site of most of the major events in town such as the Charlestown Seafood Festival, the Big Apple Circus and the Rhythm and Roots Music Festival. The Charlestown Seafood Festival has been named one of the "Top 100 Events in America" by the American Tour Bus Association."

Quonochontaug Weather & Climate

Block Island's weather is classified as oceanic. It's greatly influenced by the surrounding ocean and prevailing offshore winds. Summers are warm with average highs in the upper 70s. Autumn and winter remains warmer than the mainland, due to the oceanic influences. By the same token, spring and summer remain cooler than the mainland because the ocean stays cold during this time period. Block Island lies approximately 13 miles off the coast of Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Outer Lands region, which is a coastal archipelago that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat some 22,000 years ago.
