Matunuck (muh-TOO-nick[1]) is a village in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, near Charlestown, Rhode Island. It is located on a point along the southern Atlantic coast of Rhode Island off U.S. Route 1. The village takes its name from an Indian word[clarification needed] meaning "lookout".[citation needed] The Narragansett tribe made a summer encampment at this location before the land was sold to colonists as part of the Pettaquamscutt purchase.
The area is home to several notable beaches, including Moonstone Beach, South Kingstown Town Beach at Matunuck, East Matunuck State Beach, and Roy Carpenter's Beach and cottages. The Theatre-by-the-Sea playhouse is also in Matunuck and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
