About us
OUR MISSION
The Misquamicut Business Association is a non profit group of like minded business owners who work tirelessly to improve your experience in Misquamicut. Forty Five businesses at the beach as well as over one hundred who service and supply us take part in the association.

We are pleased to work in conjunction with the Town of Westerly, the Misquamicut Fire District, the Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce and South County Tourism Council.
