HELLO AND
Welcome to the WHLKA
The Watch Hill Lighthouse is located on a peninsula in southwestern Rhode Island. The United States Coast Guard transferred ownership to the Watch Hill Lighthouse Keeper’s Association in January 2024. The mission of the Association is to preserve and protect this historical landmark.
The Lighthouse Property can be accessed by foot via a private road and is open from 8AM to sunset throughout the year. Our museum is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 1-4 pm in July and August. The Lighthouse itself and its adjacent structures are restricted to the public.
