Westport-Point is a "populated place" located in the town of Westport, in southeastern Massachusetts. It's approximately eight miles west of New Bedford, and thirty miles southeast of Providence, Rhode Island. There are several of these "unofficial" communities located in Westport; Acoaxet, Head of Westport, South Westport, Westport Point, and Westport Factory. Westport Point, like all of Westport, is a community of small businesses and residential areas, surrounded by peaceful farms and beautiful scenery. It's just minutes to one of New England's most popular beaches - Horseneck Beach State Reservation. Spread across almost 600 acres of barrier beach and salt marsh, Horseneck Beach is situated at the western end of Buzzards Bay. The southwest-facing, two-mile long beach provides a welcome relief from the sweltering summer temperatures inland and offers excellent wind surfing, swimming, boating, fishing and picnicking opportunities. Behind the dunes near Gooseberry Neck, which is a rocky headland at the eastern end of the Reservation, is a 100-site campground. Swimming is permitted only at designated beaches in the reservation and pets are not allowed on the beaches and swimming areas. Many other state parks and reservations are near Westport Point, including Fall River Heritage State Park, Freetown-Fall River State Forest and Dighton Rock State Park.
