Waterfront Homes for Sale in Washington County, RI

Washington County is what locals call South County, running from Narragansett and Point Judith west through South Kingstown, Charlestown, and Westerly. Waterfront here covers far more than ocean frontage. The county holds the salt ponds behind the barrier beaches, the Pettaquamscutt and Pawcatuck rivers, and a string of freshwater ponds inland. Each carries different flood, dock, and erosion considerations, so two properties with identical frontage figures can behave very differently.
