Castle Hill Lighthouse is located on Narragansett Bay in Newport, Rhode Island at the end of the historic Ocean Drive.[2][3][4] It is an active navigation aid for vessels entering the East Passage, between Conanicut Island and Aquidneck Island. The lighthouse has become a symbol of Newport, and a frequent site for wedding photos, proposals, and tourist photos.[5] Although the property is owned by the nearby Castle Hill Inn, the lighthouse is owned by the United States Coast Guard.[5]
