Description

Rose Island Lighthouse Newport, Rhode Island ©Debra Martz Rose Island is an 18.5-acre island in Narragansett Bay off Newport, Rhode Island. It is allegedly named "Rose Island" because at low tide the island appears to be shaped like a rose. The lighthouse was built in 1870 and stands atop a bastion of Fort Hamilton, which was built in 1798-1800.
Today the lighthouse is a travel destination, reached only by boat. Visitors can spend a night as a guest or a week as the "lighthouse keeper," completing many of the chores required to keep the lighthouse in good condition.
