There’s never a bad time to call The Ocean State home. However, we can all agree that summer is a particularly lovely time to live here. Nothing beats a warm summer day at the beach — except, perhaps, a warm summer day looking at the beach with a cold cocktail in your hand.

The Andrea Seaside Restaurant and Beach Bar has officially opened for the season, signaling the kickoff to another beautiful summer.

The Andrea Seaside Restaurant and Beach Bar is located directly on Misquamicut Beach in Westerly.

We're not kidding. It doesn't get any more "on the beach" than this.
The Andrea was originally built in 1912, when it was used as a bed & breakfast.

In 1946, Ralph Colucci bought it and converted it into a hotel, expanding the restaurant and adding a bar. It's still run by the same family today.
Unfortunately, Hurricane Sandy destroyed most of Misquamicut’s beaches and businesses in 2012, including The Andrea.

The family decided not to re-open the hotel, but to focus exclusively on the restaurant and bar.
