    Beautiful spot sadly it was really foggy while we were there. Nice little place to sit relax and watch the waves come I.

    We drove here to see the lighthouse and to see the ocean. The drive from Newport Rhode Island was a little over an hour. The park next to the lighthouse was nice and you could watch surfers from the cliff. There was not a beach area here. We sat on a bench and watched the surfers and enjoyed the fresh ocean air and the lighthouse view. There was a fence all around this last lighthouse and it was a government kept sight.

    Great place to come enjoy an afternoon picnic, stroll or just sit back, relax and check out the ocean views. We weren't able to get close to the lighthouse as they didn't allow parking in that area due to restrictions from COVID-19, but I was able to snap a picture from the car as we looped around all the vehicles getting tickets from being parked where they weren't supposed to be! Wish we could have gotten better shots, but perhaps we will get there another day!!

    A very nice park with a big historic lighthouse at the end of the drive. There was no parking due to the pandemic; however, it was still worth the drive to take some pictures of the lighthouse and check out the park.

    This is a must visit for anyone in the Narragansett area. It's just such a peaceful spot. Sit on a bench and watch the surfers or boats going by. Take pictures of the lighthouse. It's a gorgeous spot.

    Stunning view from the Fisherman's Memorial

    This is probably my favorite place on earth. I park at what we call "breakwater beach". They have a Fisherman's Memorial high on top of the bunker. You get the most scenic pictures, or have an amazing picnic.

    we took a drive here today, to see this beautiful light house. i took a few pictures. we couldnt get to close though, because it was part of a cost guard station. they would have gotten five stars if they allowed climbing. i love light houses.

    View from the lighthouse.

    You just have to love this spot and it's 270 degree panoramic view. This is an active Coast Guard facility providing services for the surrounding areas. Located on a peninsular the grounds of the lighthouse are fully accessible and provide a wonderful view of the ocean as well as Narragansett Bay. This spot is very popular with surfers thus providing an opportunity to watch as surfers attempt catching the next big one. There are always interesting people to talk with from around the globe who have stopped by to enjoy this beautiful seaside location.

    I mean, there's not much to say about this place. it's a lighthouse... it's on the water...but growing up here as a kid, the nostalgia gets me everytime. Watch the surfers on the rocks below, take a stroll with your honey or go off to the side and play on the rocks where horse shoe crabs roam freely and old abandoned bunkers are covered in overgrown grasses. It's just a nice place to relax after a good meal or go for a sunrise. It's a place I go to everytime I make a journey to one of my fave seaside destinations

    Gorgeous spot to take in the sites of Rhode Island, take a walk, snap some photos or catch some waves. The gate to the lighthouse is open so you can walk all the way to the lighthouse if you'd like.

    Gorgeous afternoon at the lighthouse.

    Favorite place to chill, enjoy the ocean, and have clamcakes & chowda. It's relaxing and quiet. There are benches to enjoy the view. Iggy's is on the way over. Great place to enjoy the view.

    I don't understand the folks who gave this spot poor reviews and I'm glad I went to see it for myself. It's an active lighthouse so it's fenced off the the public by US coast guard. As long as you know that and don't expect a private tour of the place, I think it's a good find right on the edge of the water, no sand but plenty of benches and grassy areas. I went during July 4th holiday weekend and the parking lot was mostly full but didn't feel crowded at all - plenty of space to walk around. Grassy shore cuts down to rocky shoreline below, you might even see some surfers. This place would be excellent for a picnic with kids who like flying kites - just the right amount of windy.

I visited The Breakers and The Marble House (third mansion is The Elms). Each house was lit up with Christmas lights, as well as a Christmas tree in each room. Also bought tickets to see "The Sparkling Lights" outside on the lawn. The mansions are absolutely grand, elegant, and filled with history!! They all cost money to enter, but there is a free audio tour for each one (bring a headset). I loved learning about each one! Short and sweet summaries of each room as you walk through the houses, with the option to listen to extended versions (for you history lovers). Each mansion has parking close-by (although the website claims you can easily walk from one mansion to the next, they are quite far, especially in the winter). I stopped in for a simple day trip, but lots to see and eat in Newport if you have more time! Another tip would be if you're there to see the Sparkling Lights, earliest admission is 4:30 pm, make sure you're in line by 4:15 pm (it gets long FAST)!

Hard to believe this windmill's been around since shortly after the War of Independence - and it looks great for its age! The windmill's got 3 levels (which you wouldn't have guessed from the outside) and you're able to climb up to the very top bonnet where the windmill blades connect with a big gear to run the millstones. Very nice displays on each level as well. Beautiful views of the Newport bridge too! The hours are limited though - so need to check its schedule - and manned by a volunteer docent. The windmill is put into full operation a couple of times a year, demonstrating the corn grinding - per the docent, the next demonstration will be July 21, 2018! Free to the public. Just a note: no restrooms or running water on site.

The smock windmill on North Road on the island of Jamestown was built way back in 1787 and was constructed to replace the one destroyed by the British in the war of Rhode Island. It operated grinding up corn until 1895 and is now owned by the Jamestown Historical Society. Everyone that visits the island sees the windmill sitting peacefully on it's little hill but once a year the Historical Society has a celebration and puts out the sails and gives lectures about the venerable structure. You get to actually go in the thing and learn about exactly how it operated. Cool stuff, the people in the Historical Society know everything about the windmill and the history of the island and gave some fascinating information about the archeology and geology of the area. Sure it's dark and the stairs are steep. I bonked my head several times climbing up and then wonked it again once I was on top but it was worth it. The views from the top are spectacular and the smell and feel takes you back in time. Rhode Island is a windy place, Narragansett Bay has a nice breeze blowing virtually all the time. The state has erected several modern wind turbines in the last few years and has many more planned in the near future to generate electricity and reduce the state's dependence on oil. Great stuff. This windmill shows that the folks way back in the 18th century knew how to take advantage of the environment. Things the people in the 21st century are just starting to learn. The past points to the future

Same for your pup. Furry friends are welcime as long as you carry their droppings out. Four parking areas are available at no cost. A number of trails dot the area. Most of the area is uneven grass and dirt paths although there are handicapped spots closest to the lighthouse and a paved path leading in that direction. The lighthouse museum is not wheel chair accessible. Composting toilet buildings are located in a field between parking and lighthouse. These are water free and have hand sanitizer available. If you are a forager this location may interest you. Be sure you have a license to enjoy fishing off the rocks.

However, during the summer months the town's population more than doubles to near 34,000. Narragansett is known for its summer recreation and beaches. Fishermen's Memorial State Park, located near Galilee, contains a former military fort (Fort Greene) and a campground. Three beaches in Narragansett that are most famous are: -Narragansett Town Beach is located in the center of Narragansett, though it charges a fee--whereas other local (state funded) beaches charge for parking only. -Scarborough State Beach: The Scarborough Beach Complex comprises two separate areas, the North and South. Each has a pavilion, showers, 75 picnic tables, boardwalk and observation tower. There is a small fee for parking if a spot on nearby streets can not be found. -Roger Wheeler State Beach and Salty Brine State Beach are both located in Point Judith, which is the southernmost point of Narragansett. Both beaches are protected by the breakwater that protects the port of Galilee. The town of Narragansett occupies a narrow strip of land running along the eastern bank of the Pettaquamscutt River to the shore of Narragansett Bay. The setting is really beautiful and if you are not into going to the beach, there's a beautiful sea wall that surrounds most of the beach area and it's the perfect setting for a nice stroll by the ocean. There's a small strip mall located about two blocks from the beach with some parking and a few shopping options and a few restaurants that cater anything from burgers and sandwiches to fine white cloth linen dining. One of the main landmarks is called "The Towers". The Towers is a historic structure located at 35 Ocean Road in Narragansett. It is the only remnant of the Narragansett Pier Casino built in the 1880s. On November 25, 1969, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In Rhode Island, people from South County joke about having to drive "north of the towers" as meaning leaving their comfortable beachy setting ... to drive to Providence, Warwick, Newport, etc.

    A cool bridge with…read moregreat views I love going over bridges, especially really big bridges. I realize that some people think reviewing a bridge is stupid but real cool ones deserve to be reviewed. Here I am actually reviewing two bridges, the old Jamestown Bridge and its replacement the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge. Everyone calls the new one the Jamestown Bridge, just like the older one. The first bridge was built in 1940 and was the very first bridge to Conanicut Island. This opened things up for people living there because they didn't have to rely on just ferries any more. There were plans to keep the old bridge open for bikes and pedestrians but the old bridge was found to be in such lousy condition that they were afraid it would fall and end up killing people. So they finally got around to blowing it in April, 2006. The new bridge was completed and opened in 1992 and is much wider and higher than the previous one. Great fun to drive over and look at down at Plum Beach Lighthouse, Dutch Island, ships and the water. It's such a great view that it's difficult to keep my eyes on the road, so I frequently weave around a bit. Scares the hell out of my wife which is always cool. Unlike the Newport Bridge (Pell), there is no toll to cross the Jamestown Bridge. Unfortunately bikes and people are not allowed on the new bridge which is to bad because it would be a great place for a walk. It can get a bit feisty in the winter, especially during snow or ice storms, but the highway guys do a good job of keeping it passable so there really aren't that many fatal accidents. I've been over both bridges a zillion times and still love it. Crossing into Jamestown over the bridge is something I'll never get tired of. Here's a cool video of the demolition of the old bridge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2nGtVURPlE
