Sitting regally in the beautiful Narragansett Bay, now sits as a treasure of Rhode Island, just calling to be explored!
Built in 1870, atop a bastion of Fort Hamilton, it was a beacon of light for ships entering the Bay during dark of night and foggy weather. After being decommissioned, it was woefully abandoned and waited patiently for its grand return. In 1984, The Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation was founded to repair, restore and preserve the beauty and history that resides within the lighthouse and surrounding property.
Rose Island is not only home to historic remnants of Revolutionary War bastions and hauntingly mysterious bunkers that hold the secrets of the soldiers that lay sickened within it's bomb proof walls. It has much more than the weathered and worn skeleton of a Naval torpedo station and the magnificence of the lighthouse itself with it's narrow stairwells to the lanthorn where you can feast your eyes on a gorgeous sixth order Fresnel lens that still illuminates Narragansett Bay. It even has a Geocache for all of our geofriends!! Rose Island is also a wildlife refuge for many shoreline birds including herons, egrets, sandpipers, seagulls and....Canadian geese...a great gaggle of geese to be exact. If you come for a visit....and we encourage you with every single ounce of adventure in our exploring hearts to make your way out there...please make sure to watch where you walk during the spring and summer seasons. There is no shortage of goose poo and you will find yourself two stepping around the fowl (see what we did there) droppings with a great amount of skill and resolution.
Our intent, as always, is to inspire you to get out and enjoy this life! We highly recommend that you see for yourself all of the wonder that Rose Island holds!
You can come for a day, a weekend or even stay as an honorary lighthouse keeper for a week! Make sure you plan your stay in advance because this amazing place fills up speedy quick and for good reason! You will have incredibly romantic views of the sunrise and sunset, soft ocean breezes outside of your window and a peaceful serenity that is hard to come by in this day and age. You could even consider leaving your electronic devices at home and if you visit between the months of September through March, you can explore parts of the island that are off limits during nesting season. As adventurers, this is our favorite time to come. Not only could you possibly have the island to yourself, but you will see all of the abandoned beauty and ghostly structures that adorn the entire island.
