Block Island North Light
Block Island North Light, Granite lighthouse at Sandy Point, New Shoreham, United States
Block Island North Light stands 55 feet tall with an octagonal shape, constructed from granite and iron at the northern end of Block Island.
The current structure, built in 1867 for $15,000, represents the fourth lighthouse constructed at this location after three previous structures were lost.
The first floor contains a maritime museum displaying navigation equipment and local maritime artifacts that showcase the coastal heritage of Rhode Island.
The lighthouse opens daily from late June through mid-September between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with limited weekend access in spring and fall.
The facility operates on renewable energy, utilizing wind generators and solar panels to power the fourth-order Fresnel lens that flashes white every five seconds.
