Rhode Island Lighthouses

Rhode Island’s maritime landscape is defined by a diverse collection of historic beacons, ranging from the unique "sparkplug" designs of Plum Beach and Sakonnet Light to the 19th-century stone and brick towers of Newport and Block Island. This list features active navigational aids and decommissioned landmarks, including the 1831 Poplar Point Light and the granite Castle Hill Lighthouse. These structures highlight the state’s naval history and architectural evolution across Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic shoreline.
