Nayatt Point Lighthouse, 11/25/23. This is one of those lighthouses that they say is best seen by water — and that’s probably correct. The house and light are privately owned, though from the street you can get a fine view that includes the Conimicut Lighthouse in the background. There is public access to the water one street over and you can get a good glimpse from there too. The keeper’s house, built in 1828, is the oldest keeper’s house in Rhode Island. The current tower is not the original tower (which had a flawed design and was poorly built), but was built in 1858 to replace the original. The Nayatt Point Lighthouse was deactivated in 1868 when the Conimicut Lighthouse was lit.
