This place is amazing. Such a nice quiet place with amazing views. People visit here just to watch the sunset. There is also a lighthouse here.

Gorgeous must see in Jamestown. An absolute delight! There is a trail to walk, a breath taking sunset or sunrise. A beautiful lighthouse, a museum, plenty of historical information and much more. I loved every bit of it and i will be back again and again.

The topography of this area is amazing. Natural rocky formations that allow you to explore seaside coastal RI up close. A great place for photo ops and for watching the sunset or sunrise with that very special person.....

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 and informative.

Just beautiful. Love to come back when the Museum is open.

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! Ive also had a few picnics out on the rocks along the coast of the park. Ive seen people painting, set up on the rocks; there are some great photography opportunities here; and, as I mentioned previously, some great hiking to be had here! I love this park! Beware of the wind though! Its almost always very windy at this park because of ocean coastline along a semi-peninsula. The horn for the lighthouse can also be deafening at times, but if youre there for hiking, then the noise is far enough away to not bother you, depending on where you are in relation to the lighthouse. Ive also see tons of sailboats, and even a few tall ships all along the ocean waters surrounding the park. The lighthouse museum is fairly nice and curator is a wonderfully kind old man, who is always willing to spend the time answer any questions you might have, or to tell the history of the Beavertail Lighthouse. There is also a small aquarium in the building next to the lighthouse that houses many of the different species that you can find living naturally in and around the water surrounding the lighthouse and park. The whole place is really just a wonderful place to visit and I highly recommend it!

Beavertail is sick there are allot of tides pools filled a wide veriety of animals and ecosystems. Sunsets are beautifull and stunning. Theres allot of rocks so id watch hout cause if you dont know what your doing you can slip on somw of the rocks but overall one of the coolest place ive been to in a while. There are allot of good fishing spots and places to chillax and enjoy a cold one with the bois. Theres also fields where you can chillax on the grass. And if exploring the area doesnt sound interesting to you then you can make an apointment to check out the light house from what ive heard. Its cool but ive never been inside it. When i go back ill check it out cause its so worth. Ya feel?

Beautiful views, great for easy rock climbing and exploring. Ample parking.

Awesome place to relax and enjoy. Lots of space, though some visitors need to read not to climb on historic structures.

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!

Breath taking spot. Lovely for a picnic if you are are with someone or a nice me spot for chilling out and meditating.

One of the nicer Lighthouses in Rhode Island that you can actually tour inside and learn about its history and see old and new artifacts. Theres a gift shop and volunteers/workers who explain some of the items on display. There are outdoor bathrooms for your convenience.

Small, but, very detailed and the people who are there are nice and understanding towards lil ones. I think older people and young adults would enjoy the insides there while the grounds are for everyone that wants an adventure or to just take the sites in.

Beavertail point below the lighthouseHas spectacular ocean vistas. A great seaside destination for a summer day at the southern tip of Jamestown. Just minutes from Newport RI

Got lucky and went on a day when the tower was open. Beautiful views and great place to picnic and hike

Gorgeous place in RI!! The place is so windy and wasnt very crowded. So serene and well maintained.

Great views. Nice place for a walkabout.

Amazing Relaxing place to go for peace

Very nice little and free museum with small aquarium area.

Breathtaking landmark with some very interesting history!

Great place to see the hostory of RI.

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. Its fairly easy to get to, with free parking. Some of your better photos will be taken from the rocks. I believe there is a small aquarium on the grounds due to signs I saw. I didnt have much time to spend so I didnt get to look around as much as I wouldve liked to.

We hiked the Beavertail trail. The views are magical.

A Very Enjoyable Experience.Toured the Lighthouse (Climbed to the Top)Waited About a Half Hour to Take the TourTerrific View and the Museum (Nice Historical Overview)Cant Beat It for a Five Dollar Donation.

Quiet little place to enjoy some sea waves and sunset. Good for picnic or weekend getaway.

I love this place. Great museum. Beautiful scenery. Folks out fishing.

This landmark is fabulous any time of year. It is free to stroll the around and marvel at its beauty.

Beautiful spot no matter the time of year!!

Another stunning location on Rhode Islands 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.

We walked around the grounds and then walked down to the huge rock that borders the sea, then sat on the rock and watched the sea. It was a blast. Watching the sea is always mesmerizing.

Superb location.Secluded and serene.Beautiful sea view.Drive here is again amazing.

Gods breath and a beautiful place to see the water

Amazing view, lovely environment, beautiful sunset, in one word fabulous.

It was nice seeing kne if the oldest lighthouses in the nation...the kids loved the little aquarium

Beavertails original lighthouse was built in 1749 ! The park is open and FREE of charge from sunrise to sunset. There is plenty of parking and its close to the shore and museum/giftshop.

Just stunning.... The sea put on quite the spectacle in the midst of the storm

Well worth visiting this Park, beautiful views!

Amazing lighthouse surrounded by beautiful beaches. Follow our adventure (see more photos) via Facebook/Instagram @ Happy Campers 227 as we travel this beautiful country full time. Fun times!

Very good for walking outside saying

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.

Beuatiful place with small aquarium for the kids!

A relaxing place to sit and watch the waves roll in.

Amazing place to learn, fish, and swim.. all in the same trip!

If your looking for a place of peace this is it.. there just something about the waves beating on the Stoney shore that is soothing ️

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.

Will written signs and great area to bring kids

Great place! Beautiful location, nice little museum. But be advised that the tower is only open sporadically, and primarily on weekends.

Great state park. Clean and beautiful views

Absolutely breathtaking views, and wonderful history.

The lighthouse is still closed, but the park is Simi-open. And beautiful as normal.

It was closed but It was grateful to be on that place!

With a spectacular view it’s a fantastic place for pictures, a walk or a nice spot to eat lunch! Also a great spot to fish!!!

The museum was closed the day we visited, but we enjoyed the grounds and the surf pounding the shore

Wonderful views. Nice museum in the keepers quarters.

Great experience! Took a walk around the museum and learned some great info! Got our Lighthouse passport stamped and enjoyed the roaring ocean views! Amazing!

Beautiful view and very cool even on hot days

This is a very interesting museum that not only explains the how a lighthouse works, but also has a focus on the families that have lived there over the years. I really like how they bring the history to life.Another favorite exhibit is the room about shipwrecks. Informative and educational.

Outstanding scenery

Great place to visit and tour... Loved to be able to walk thru and around!

Beautiful cant wait to go again, so peaceful place!

A nice place to visit with the family. The lighthouse history is amazing and the people very knowledgeable.

Very nice beach and good place for enjoying quality time

This place is absolutely beautiful. Great place to walk and take in the scenery with family or alone!

One of the most gorgeous places Ive ever seen a sunset in my life

Great place for photos! The museum was not open yet, but really want to visit when it is!! The history of the lighthouse is really cool.

One of my favorite places in the whole world, so beautiful.

Really great definitely worth a look, the museum was nice and pretty big. They have a seasonal aquarium which was really pretty awesome. And its nice to walk around and take in the views

I was a little disappointed that you cant 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 theres a nice little free aquarium that my kids enjoyed. And theres bathrooms. Always a plus.

Always great to visit here. Rock hopping, tidepools with critters and great views.

I like this place during spring and summer. Best time for me yo visit is after winter time when weather is starting to get warm. There is park to walk. You can find picnic tables. If you enjoy scenic views for good pictures this is a good place.

Beautiful location, great trails, incredible view

This is a working lighthouse with a museum, gift shop, and small aquarium. The sights are beautiful and there are plenty of rocks for agile folk who want to do some treasure hunting. Composting potties with ramps are available and easily accessible, out in front of the lighthouse.

Such a beautiful spot. The lighthouse museum was closed which would have been better, but we all had fun walking around. A must see.

Very educational. Will go back.

Really one of the most striking views. I like Newport, and I like some of the parks further up the bay. This view, though, really gives a sense of the state. I also like the museum. It makes me want to see some other lighthouses in the state. And, finally, the small aquarium to the side of the museum is really fun.

Great place to explore the rocks, check out the museum, and watch the waves.

Very peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful sunsets and views of the ocean

This lighthouse has lots of history in it. It has 49 steps and then step out to the balcony. It was nice and breezy there. Beautiful view as well. Would not recommend children under 4 or 5. You can not carry a child or a baby in it.

Light house in natures lap...loved it.

A wonderful place to visit with kids, as a group of adults or alone. Seascapes, pounding surf, salt spray, history, you name it.

Absolutely stunning location. Although I wasnt able to visit the lighthouse itself, the trails lead to a beautiful beach area overlooking the ocean

Great place for a picnic, walking or just viewing the ocean.

Ocean views, fishing, hiking. Great museum. Richard is a great docent with personal history at the light house.

A beautiful lighthouse.

Beautiful any time if the year, right on the water in the best part of R.I.

Great place to view the ocean, the photos are from the norEaster October 27,2018

Very nice place to visit, lots of people, but you can still find solice in solitude by the sea if youre clever.

Memories of be here with my Dad beautiful park great for picnicking and kite flying the museum and aquariums are an add bonus to the views and the lighthouse.

Great ocean view!!

Beautiful views are available from this historic lighthouse, and the exhibits are engaging for the entire family. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful experience and part of our history

Go here often, went during a passing of a tropical storm that was off the coast, it was a awesome display of power

Nice historical place and well worth the visit. Theres not a lot here, just a piece of New England history. Be sure to go when the museum is open.

The drive to this point is a little long and monotonous but its absolutely worth it any day. Beautiful panoramic view of ocean and charming lighthouse. Gem in Jamestown, RI...They have restrooms too !!

What a cool place! Very scenic. Friendly staff at gift shop. Will go again.

Gorgeous views and very nice staff. They are very passionate about the history behind this lighthouse.

Beautiful views!

It was closed and it was cold outside but pretty serting

Great bike ride and exploring along the rocks.
