Item Description
1 Night
Rose Island Lighthouse is located on an 18 acre island off the New England coast, set a mile into Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Built in 1869, it is a working lighthouse just minutes away from the quaint colonial town of Newport.
At Rose Island you will likely see Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Little Blue Heron, Black Crowned Night Heron, Glossy Ibises and American Oystercatchers, along with more common Herring Gulls, Greater Black-backed Gulls, Canada Geese, and a variety of ducks.
After the Pell Newport Bridge was built the Light Station was abandoned, but on August 7, 1993, the beacon was joyously relit. Rose Island Light is once again listed on today's charts as a private aid to navigation and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
