About
An 1870 lighthouse on an 18-acre island accessible only by ferry from Newport... and you can actually spend the night here. Day visitors get the lighthouse tour and 360-degree bay views; overnight guests stay in the restored keeper's rooms. The island also sits on the ruins of Fort Hamilton, used by both sides during the Revolutionary War and later by the Navy to store torpedoes.
