Perched on the northern tip of Conanicut Island in Jamestown, Rhode Island, this charming lighthouse has guided mariners through Narragansett Bay since 1886. The modest stone tower replaced an earlier beacon and served faithfully until being decommissioned. Though no longer active and closed to public access, the lighthouse remains a beloved local landmark.
What makes it notable is its picturesque setting against the bay, offering exceptional photography opportunities—particularly at golden hour when warm light bathes the weathered stone. While visitors cannot climb the tower, the surrounding shoreline provides excellent vantage points.
Nearby attractions include Fort Wetherill State Park, Beavertail Lighthouse, and the historic village of Jamestown, making this an ideal stop on a Rhode Island lighthouse tour.
