History/Info:
Nayatt Point light sits on the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay at the tip of Nayatt Point. The lighthouse looks out at Conimicut Shoal and the Conimicut Lighthouse. When Conimicut Light was built in 1868, that marked the end of use for Nayatt Point Lighthouse. Although Nayatt Point Light ceased to be an active lighthouse the keeper's quarters were used for the keepers manning the Conimicut Lighthouse.

The lighthouse is now a private residence

Personal Note:
Because it's a private residence, it's difficult to drive to the lighthouse to photograph it. However, we rode our bikes down the street and were able to take some photos. One of their neighbors was nice enough to let us walk on his lawn to get a better angle for our photos.
