The Best Watch Hill Gifts for Rhode Island Lovers
Watch Hill, Rhode Island is one of those places that gets under your skin. The Flying Horse Carousel. The long stretch of East Beach. The walk out to Napatree Point. Ice cream on Bay Street. Once you've been, you want to bring a little piece of it home — and if you love someone who feels the same way, a Watch Hill gift is always the right call.
Here are our favorite gifts for the Rhode Island lovers in your life, organized by who you're shopping for.
For the Beach Lover
Nothing says Watch Hill like a day at East Beach with everything you need. Our Watch Hill beach bags come in a range of styles — from oversized canvas totes perfect for hauling towels and gear, to lightweight sailboat and fish-print bags for a quick trip to the shore. Pair one with a East Beach Watch Hill Beach Towel and a East Beach Watch Hill Water Bottle for the ultimate beach day bundle.
For the Carousel Kid
The Flying Horse Carousel is the heart of Watch Hill summers, and we've built an entire collection around it.
The Flying Horse Carousel collection includes tees, hoodies, mugs, framed prints, canvas art, baseball caps, and the iconic "I Caught the Brass Ring" gear that every Watch Hill kid deserves. It's the perfect way to remember the ride — and the thrill of reaching for that brass ring.
For the Surfer & East Beach Regular
East Beach has its own energy — open, windswept, and facing the full Atlantic.
Our East Beach collection captures that vibe in tees, hoodies, sweatshirts, swim trunks, hats, and water bottles. Whether they're catching waves or just watching them, there's something here for every East Beach regular.
For the Nautical Soul
Nautical Collection
Watch Hill has the most storied nautical histories on the New England coast — the Watch Hill Yacht Club has anchored the harbor since 1887.
Our Nautical Collection celebrates that heritage with classic anchor-and-navy designs on hats, hoodies, tees, duffel bags, boat pillows, boat flag, and even a nautical golf towel for the sailor who also plays 18.
Watch Hill Kids
Watch Hill is a place kids remember forever.
Our kids coastal gifts collection has everything from the interactive Watch Hill children's books and the Watch Hill story book, to puzzles, kids' tees, pinback buttons, beach towels, water bottles, backpacks, and the cutest baby sailboat one piece you've ever seen.
Perfect for the youngest Watch Hill fans.

For the One Who Loves Watch Hill
Sometimes the best gift is the smallest one. Our Watch Hill pinback buttons, coastal greeting cards, postcards, and playing cards are the perfect add-on — or the perfect standalone gift for someone who just needs a little reminder of their favorite place on the coast.
