Perched at the entrance to Wickford Harbor in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, this charming 1882 lighthouse has guided mariners through Narragansett Bay for over 140 years. The white wooden structure sits on a stone pier, creating a quintessentially New England scene that photographers prize during golden hour and foggy mornings.
Though the light remains active and is not open to public tours or climbing, visitors can admire it from the shoreline or by kayak. The picturesque village of Wickford offers excellent viewing spots along with antique shops, galleries, and waterfront dining. Nearby attractions include historic Wickford Village, Smith’s Castle, and the scenic beaches of Narragansett Bay—making this an ideal coastal Rhode Island day trip.
