Rhode Island LighthousesCastle HillOne of many Rhode Island lighthouses, the Castle Hill Light has been guiding mariners into Narragansett Bay since 1890. It is one of my favorites among the lesser-known Newport RI attractions.The lighthouse is the property of the U.S. government, but the property surrounding it is owned by the Castle Hill Inn and Resort.
Unfortunately, only guests of the Inn "have permission" to access the walking trail that gets you to the lighthouse. That being said, once you "become a guest", just go all the way to the end of the parking lot (up top by the mansion), where you'll see a sign for the Coastal Walking Trail.
Sit here for awhile and enjoy watching the boats go by. You could even bring a book and some beverages and spend an afternoon out here.
