Hi Steve:
As for Misquamicut state beach, fisherman can park there and fish all night all day from September 15th to about MAY 20th (changes yearly). During the prime beach season all public beaches allow fishing from 6:30PM to 7:30AM. However, overnight parking is limited. Misquamicut state beach parking is about $5.00 a day (you can buy an annual pass for $20.00).
If you went the opposite way you would have seen the Andrea hotel on the beach side. They keep the lights on all night long, this is always a good spot to fish and you can park there at night.
BTW you went right by Weekapaug Bait & Tackle next to the Breachway Market(signs are out being painted for the new season). There are fisherman's lots on both sides of the Weekapaug bridge, open 24 x 7 all year for fishermen. There are quite a few good spots along this breachway based on incoming or outgoing tides, as well as the end on both sides (best on the outgoing). The 30 minute parking area is called Weekapaug point, this is also a great area (korkers a must). If you would have continued following the road past the point to the yacht club you would have found additional parking(night only during summer) and a great beach to fish just over the dunes), comes right back toward the rocks at the point.
As for the rest of the places, John's description is quite accurate. If you are ever in the area again stop by the shop, we will be glad to help you out.
