This park and lighthouse is a special place for me. I have visited this place for many years. On a recent visit, I had the pleasure of talking to a man who lived in the lighthouse as a child and related his memories to me and my wife for 2 hours. It was a fascinating experience and very inspiring an...

I grew up here in Jamestown. So, yes, i have a bias. This is one of the most photogenic places on the planet. Passing nearby ocean storms/hurricanes make this one the best places to see the waves break on the rocks. It is also a great place for shore fishing where you can catch some fair sized ocean...

I always look forward to going here, you must have your camera. Its a different experience than going to the beach no sand, less ppl. Beautiful rocks and cliffs formed with amazing shapes and designs formed from the oceans tides. It has a historical Museum showing awesome history about all the light...

I was a little disappointed that you can't go in the light house but I got over it pretty quick when I saw the waves crashing on the rocks at high tide! So beautiful! And there's a nice little free aquarium that my kids enjoyed. And there's bathrooms. Always a plus.

My beautiful old home. My father , John Baxter, was the last light keeper in the early 70's. Many great old memories there from the hurricane to the copter landing on the road. Hoping to go back after all these years. If you live close or want to have a great vacation, visit Jamestown, it's a cute t...

I haven't been actually inside it, but do you really think it's easy to crash into Rhode Island with a sailing ship or whatever? Don't they have GPS now or something? It doesn't seem that useful anymore, they should use the space for an Arby's. It does look nice.

Beavertail is a beautiful place on the southern end of Conanicut Island which is also the town of Jamestown. The lighthouse sight is the third oldest operating in the U.S. which can be toured as a museum.
There is a very small yet wonderful aquarium which is housed in a side building of the lightho...

I rate this lighthouse a 4 simply because of its unique style for New England lighthouses. Most are white & tubular. This is a stone lighthouse brownish in color & rectangular in shape. It's fairly easy to get to, with free parking. Some of your better photos will be taken from the rocks. I believe...

Absolutely beautiful! This was one of our favorite stops on our tour around New York, Massachusetts, Rhode island, and Connecticut! The road Google took us on was pathetically rough through Newport. But the 33 foot RV traveled and parked nicely at Beavertail State Park! I will be going back!

Picturesque, one of my favorite places in Rhode Island to watch a sunset or a storm roll in to see the waves crash along the rocky shoreline. Have a picnic, take a walk or go for a run, sit and read a book. It's a heavenly spot.

My review is more about Beavertail State Park than the museum there. I loved hiking along this beach park - there are rocks, huge rocks, all along the cost line on either side of the beautiful lighthouse there, and they are GREAT for hiking! I've also had a few picnics out on the rocks along the c...
