Matunuck

Matunuck (muh-TOO-nick[1]) is a village in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States, located near Charlestown.

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 Theatre-by-the-Sea playhouse is also in Matunuck and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
