The Watch Hill Lighthouse

Keeping a watchful eye over the beautiful coastal village of Watch Hill,

The Watch Hill Lighthouse is located at the most southwestern point of Rhode Island.

The Watch Tower opened in 1745 and the Lighthouse opened in 1801.

As with most lighthouses, it has an interesting history,

if you are a history buff, you can read about it here.

Why We Love Watch Hill, Rhode Island

The skies are so blue, 

the beaches are spectacular and the umbrellas are always so colorful.

It is a family friendly beach community.

Everyone you meet is a local and they all have the best tans.

Everyone walks around barefoot or is riding a bike.

They all have the best tips on where to eat.

And they have the cutest little shops - Coco & Lala for the adult girls...

And Coco & Lala for the little ones.

Are they not the cutest shops you have ever seen?

The Sweet Shop

Watch Hill is home to The Flying Horse Carousel.

A historic carousel, built around 1876, where the riders catch rings as it spins.

The carousel has a very interesting history,

if you are interested, you can read about it here.

Not your typical carousel, as the horses are suspended in air,

and appear to be flying as the carousel spins.
