Description
Here in Newport and along its famed Ocean Drive, visitors will find a coast that's lined with splendid mansions and impressive gardens. One of these grand homes on the western tip of Aquidneck Island was once home to Harvard marine biologist Alexander Agassiz. Today, this charming landmark is part of the Castle Hill Inn Resort.
Perched on a huge granite ledge adjacent the inn, the 120 year old Castle Hill Lighthouse remains an important navigation aid along the Eastern Passage of Narragansett Bay. Built on a massive rocky slab, the 34 foot granite tower announces the extreme western prominent for those entering from Rhode Island Sound.
