Description
Creating miles of additional coastline for the tiny state of Rhode Island, the Narragansett Bay forms New England's largest estuary. Covering nearly 150 square miles, the bay functions as a nature harbor and playground for millions every year. Here along the coast visitors enjoy watching everything from sailboats to seals.
A unique collection of lighthouses are spread throughout the bay, with no two looking alike. The Newport Harbor Lighthouse, also known as the Goat Island Light, is one of the bay's active lighthouses. Today, the Goat Island Light is easily seen from Newport. A causeway extends out to Goat Island where the 35 foot granite tower occupies the northern tip of Goat Island.
