History/Info:
Castle Hill Light, a short and wide shaped lighthouse, marks the east entrance of Narragansett Bay. Although the lighthouse is on Narragansett Bay, the keepers house is located at Castle Hill Cove, a good ¼ mile away from the light itself. There is easy access to the lighthouse via footpaths starting from the parking lot at the Castle Hill Inn.
