The fully restored and functional lighthouse is a living piece of maritime history. The Rose Island lighthouse and Fort Hamilton are open daily from May 28 through October 11, 2021. Regular daily visits (during the season) include a general information tour by their island greeters and there is also a self-guided tour brochure that permits the visitor to explore the lighthouse grounds on their own. Depending on the conditions and status of the pandemic, guests may be allowed access into the lighthouse in small groups, but should check www.roseisland.org for updates. Other activities include beach combing, fishing, bird watching and swimming (no lifeguard). Picnic tables and public toilets are available. If you plan on visiting the Rose Island Lighthouse you will need to purchase a separate Landing Fee Ticket: Adults $12.00 – Children 12 and under $8.00 – Military $10.00. RILF members are not charged. The island is closed to the public during fundraisers. For more information: 401.847.4242.
