Very cool to look at. Wish you could tour it. Can only park near it if you’re a senior or disabled.

They don't do lighthouse tours there...you must walk or bike to the lighthouse through a private neighborhood unless you are over 65 or have a handicap pass...road is always open

If you have a handicap plate you can drive right to the lighthouse parking. If not, there's very little parking and nothing for the injured. It's a very long walk with lots of hills. Believe me, I know!

You can drive to it if you are over 65 years old OR you have a Handicap placard. Wheelchairs have access to the parking areas. Not sure about the museum, which is only open on select days.

Where do you park?

Parking at the lighthouse is restricted to seniors 65 and above, and those individuals with a disability. For distant views, you can park at or near the Misquamicut Club. There is a walkway to the beach that lies slightly northwest of the lighthouse. Note: After sunset, the tide comes in and there is about a foot of water in the parking lot immediately adjacent to the Misquamicut Club.

You do not have to pay to park here depending on availability

Is this place open to fishing? I read an announcement on the website that the property is closed. Is there another area around this property where fishing can be done?

Yes it is open but you can't drive down to it you have to park on the street and walk down one of the best fishing spots in the area great porgy black fish strippers and blues when they are running high tide seems to be the best time

Can I go there today or is it closed?

You can excess watch hill any day. The parking is located at the end of what looks like a private neighborhood but with no gate. Enjoy your visit
