Beavertail State Park, State park at southern tip of Conanicut Island, Jamestown, United States
The 153-acre park features granite cliffs, rocky shores, and four observation points overlooking Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean coastline.
The park's lighthouse, constructed in 1856, replaced earlier structures from 1749 and 1753, making it the third-oldest lighthouse location in North America.
The Fort Burnside Communication and Coastal Defense Museum maintains collections of military artifacts and conducts workshops for radio enthusiasts.
Visitors can engage in saltwater fishing, hiking along coastal trails, exploring tide pools, and participating in marine education programs at the Beavertail Aquarium.
The former Army-Navy Harbor Entrance Control Post was designed to look like a regular mansion to conceal its military surveillance operations.
