Southeast Lighthouse, Block Island

A journey of three rides to the Southeast Lighthouse.

I visited my friend, Melissa,, in her hometown in Connecticut in July 2017.  We drove to Rhode Island to catch a ferry to Block Island. Then we rented a bike and followed the way to the lighthouse.

I am not an expert on biking, but I could still do it. I used to do it when I was a kid.

Southeast Lighthouse was designated as a US National Historic Landmark in 1997 as one of the most sophisticated Lighthouses built in the 19th century. Also, the Nature Conservancy has listed it as one of the "Last Great Places."  It was constructed in 1875 with a height of 52 feet—what a beautiful brick-made lighthouse.

It was closed for viewing, but we enjoyed the gorgeous view of the island and the ferry sunset. Plus, it was a unique adventure.

A car, a ferry, and a bike to chase this Southeast Lighthouse?  Yes, we did it all.  It was so much fun.
