A South Kingstown institution in Matunuck, Ocean Mist is one of the most beloved live music venues and beach bars in Rhode Island: a weathered, character-filled bar right above the Matunuck beach with live bands nearly every night of the summer season and the kind of warm, community-rooted atmosphere that only exists when a bar has been the center of a community’s social life for decades. The Matunuck surfing community, the summer visitors, and the South County year-rounders all converge at the Mist.
