Amazing view, lovely environment, beautiful sunset, in one word fabulous.
It was closed and it was cold outside but pretty serting
Quiet little place to enjoy some sea waves and sunset. Good for picnic or weekend getaway.
Of all the local historical attractions in Jamestown, if you are only going to visit one then this is the one to visit. It was closed when I visited but, it was still more interesting than the others. Nice views and some nice oceanside areas to explore. Seems a popular destination for school field trips.
This place is great for so many things: watching sunrises, big waves during storms, photography, letting the kids run around on the rocks, flying kites, picnics, etc. It changes with the seasons, so it's worth visiting in all different types of weather just to see it change.
One of my favorite places in Rhode Island. Gorgeous park with beautiful shore views built around an historic lighthouse.
Beautiful area! Knowledgeable people working in the lighthouse, and it's free!
Panoramic views, picnic area, fishing and a lighthouse museum to tie it altogether.
Great place. Love the views. The aquarium is cute, very small but has lots of local species. Nice park.
Gail was the best guide ever!!! Beautiful spot and extremely interesting
My go-to place to get away either on my own or with the family. I can lay out and tan my son can play on the rocks we can check out some ocean life and have a restful day. I didn't even mention the gorgeous views!
Perfect day for a stroll and some history. Great job of restoring the structures. People were fishing of the rocks, relaxing in chairs, and simply enjoying the sights and sounds of the land and the lighthouse.
This landmark is fabulous any time of year. It is free to stroll the around and marvel at its beauty.
Not you "picturesque" light house but the park is awesome and the cliff area is a great climb.
Another stunning location on Rhode Island's southern coast. Located in Beavertail State park. Great location for picnicking, sun bathing, kite flying, cast fishing, photography, hiking, jogging, sightseeing, and surf watch. Beware of ticks, and drop offs on the rocks. Be aware the rocks are slippery. Hold onto your kids and over confident teens.
Got lucky and went on a day when the tower was open. Beautiful views and great place to picnic and hike
Beautiful scenery and park with a free aquarium during the summer time
A Very Enjoyable Experience. Toured the Lighthouse (Climbed to the Top) Waited About a Half Hour to Take the "Tour" Terrific View and the Museum (Nice Historical Overview) Can't Beat It for a Five Dollar Donation.
Just stunning.... The sea put on quite the spectacle in the midst of the storm
Beautiful spot with very interesting info about lighthouses.
A lovely historic lighthouse with some of the best ocean views in the state.
Something absolutely free to get into and park (see review of Bevertail Park) great photo ops.. free museum and tiny aquarium (one room). Very steep and real cliffs to explore, so watch the little one real good. You must go on the bridge so $8 ($4 each way) is your only cost. Trinkets at the museum of nautical items. Can take a 1/2 hour or more to just go in the bottom of the lighthouse. The tiny stairs up to the top are only open "A" specific day of the week (a Sat or a Sun) not both. Bring your big zoom lens, binoculars or telescope as you are up high and can explore the horizon. Lots of place to have a pick nick. Parking can be tough depending on the weather as it's only right along the roadside. So no huge parking lots. Bathrooms (solar) too !
I couldn't give it 5 stars cause we went on a day they were closed...completely our fault but it is a beautiful place and is worth the trip just to see
A total hidden gem. A surprising number of exhibits for a small place. The staff are volunteers happy to share their knowledge and lead you to the deck surrounding near the top of the lighthouse.
Very nice little and free museum with small aquarium area.
Amazing place to learn, fish, and swim.. all in the same trip!
Awesome place to relax and enjoy. Lots of space, though some visitors need to read not to climb on historic structures.
Beavertail's original lighthouse was built in 1749 ! The park is open and FREE of charge from sunrise to sunset. There is plenty of parking and it's close to the shore and museum/giftshop.
Nice lighthouse. Good small museum. Good walk along the rocky coastline.
Love to come here with my son and BF. It's what I can call (our little get away from home)! Peaceful and beautiful to look at. Bath rooms available as well and thats always a +!!!
Beautiful! A must see. Wonderful friendly staff..
Great place to enjoy natural beauty. Blue water beach beside a beautiful lighthouse.
Learn a bit of history of the Beavertail Lighthouse and lighthouses in general at this small nice museum. Don't miss the small shed behind the main Museum which has a display dealing with Lighthouse lenses. A great place to have a picnic and look at Narragansett Bay and the ocean.
Great family day! Beautiful park type area as well. Pack a lunch and stay the day
I love this place. Great museum. Beautiful scenery. Folks out fishing.
Richard brings history to life. Will back for a time, when we can.
good place to visit and relax and hearing the ocean
Beautiful can't wait to go again, so peaceful place!
worth the ride...such beautiful views...especially if they open the lighthouse!
Historic Light house with a museum that exhibits local artifacts. delightful museum shop.
Nice lighthouse grounds. Nice rocky cliffs and ocean views. Museum and small aquarium is closed in winter months. Plenty of parking.
I have been going there since I was a child. Great place for a picnic, kite flying and relaxing. If your visiting Rhode Island this is a "must see".
The drive to this point is a little long and monotonous but it's absolutely worth it any day. Beautiful panoramic view of ocean and charming lighthouse. Gem in Jamestown, RI... They have restrooms too !!
Excellent views, I'd recommend grabbing a deck chair and a cool box and just relaxing here for an hour or two.
Very interesting little museum free of charge! I learned a lot about lighthouses.
Great for the kids and family. The lighthouse offers a small museum employee with knowledgeable staff. The views from the top are amazing.
This is a beautiful place! A highlight of Rhode Island and not to be missed!
Beautiful views, great for easy rock climbing and exploring. Ample parking.
Always great to visit here. Rock hopping, tidepools with critters and great views.
Just a great area to walk around, enjoy the views and catch the breeze on a wicked hot day
Breathtaking landmark with some very interesting history!
