Getting There
Weekapaug is located in the town of Westerly, RI, on the
border of Connecticut. There are multiple ways to get here!
By Plane
The Providence Airport (PVD) is the closest airport to Westerly (38 miles). It is also possible to fly into Bradley Airport (BDL) in Hartford, CT (74 miles) or Logan Airport (BOS) in Boston (96 miles).
Please be sure to arrange transportation to and from the airport.
By Car
For those coming from the Northeast, we strongly suggest driving as it is the most convenient once you are in town. Westerly is right off I-95 and is about 2.5 hrs from NYC and 1.75 hrs from Boston.
By Train
The Amtrak is an excellent option for those traveling from Boston or New York. The most convenient stop is Westerly but you can also get off in neighboring towns of Mystic, CT, New London, CT or North Kingston, RI. Please note, there are no Ubers or Lyfts in Westerly so be sure to book a car in advance from the taxi service listed.
By Boat
Kidding! Though, if you wanted to...

We will provide shuttles between a few hotels and the wedding venue on Saturday both before and after the event.
