The experience

Getting there
Nearest airport PVD.
How do I get to Tunes on the Dunes?
By car
Most people drive to Tunes on the Dunes. The nearest major airport is PVD, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
Westerly has its own Amtrak Northeast Corridor station (14 Railroad Ave, served exclusively by Northeast Regional trains. Acela passes through without stopping), roughly a few miles from Westerly Town Beach -- a taxi/rideshare or the RIPTA 301 Rural Ride covers the last mile. This is a better first-choice mode than flying into PVD for travelers already on the NEC (Boston-NYC corridor), since it lands within Westerly itself rather than requiring an onward 30-40 min drive from the airport.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
RIPTA Route 95X is an express connecting Westerly to Providence (and onward toward PVD-area service), while Flex routes 204 and 301 (Westerly/Hope Valley Rural Ride) serve the Westerly train station itself.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Westerly Town Beach parking normally requires a seasonal sticker restricted to Westerly residents/taxpayers/property owners (purchased via the town's own online form, picked up at the Recreation Office). Beach parking gates for non-sticker vehicles open later in the day, consistent with a resident-priority system. The official westerlyri.gov beach page did not itemize a non-resident daily $ figure as of October 2026.

Airbnb & private camping
Westerly/Misquamicut is a classic New England summer beach-town rental market; strong seasonal demand and premium summer-weekend pricing near the shore is a well-established regional pattern (Rhode Island south-county beach towns).
Search AirbnbNo private-land camping found directly at Westerly Town Beach or immediate Misquamicut shorefront (dense, developed beach-town frontage). Hipcamp inventory for the broader Rhode Island/southern New England area is inland, a drive from the shore -- not a walkable substitute for this beachfront concert series.
