CASTLE HILL LIGHTHOUSE, Rhode Island

A symbol of Newport, Rhode Island, Castle Hill Lighthouse is located on Narragansett Bay at the end of the historic ocean drive.

The lighthouse is a famous site for wedding photos and tourist photos. It is built right into a cliff, making her a natural feature of the landscape.

According to history, "The lighthouse was completed in 1890 on property formerly belonging to the naturalist, oceanographer, and zoologist Alexander Agassiz of Harvard University. Agassiz sold the land to the United States Government for the lighthouse for $1."

The lighthouse is not open to the public, but the grounds are open for photography and relaxation.  If you have a chance, staying until the sunset is worth it.  You will surely get beautiful shots of a sunset by the lighthouse.  Just like what I did!
