The lighthouse, established in 1749 at Beavertail Point, was the granddaddy of all Rhode Island lighthouses and only the third one—after Boston Harbor and Nantucket’s Brant Point—in the American colonies.
Today is a museum that features a collection of information, artifacts, and conversation about the history and site of the third-oldest lighthouse in North America.
The lighthouse is located in Beavertail State Park at the end of Beavertail Road, at the southern tip of Conanicut Island. There is free parking. The grounds are open to the public.

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Drew was great!"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

10/10 Excellent

"The room and service were excellent. No problems at all. Even the mattresses were comfortable. All areas of the hotel, both inside the room and in the hallways and common areas, were clean and fresh. (I did not use the pool or hot tub, but enjoyed having that option.) Breakfast could have more plant-based options, but otherwise good."
