Survivor of the 1938 hurricane, the Plum Beach Lighthouse, was made obsolete by the Jamestown Bridge in 1941 and vandals and birds took over. In 2004, the Friends of the Plum Beach Lighthouse celebrated the complete restoration.

| Point Judith Lighthouse |
 |
|
The first lighthouse was built in Point Judith in 1810 for $5,000 and was destroyed by a hurricane in 1815. A 35 foot stone lighthouse was erected the following year. In 1857 it was replaced by a new 51 foot brownstone tower, which escaped the 1938 hurricane. A major restoration was performed in 2000.

| Whale Rock Lighthouse |
 |
|
Whale Rock Lighthouse was built in 1882 to help mariners past a treacherous reef at the entrance to the busy west passage of Narragansett Bay. The lighthouse was a typical cast-iron “sparkplug” type tower on a cylindrical caisson, similar to many built from the early 1870s into the early 1900s. It disappeared in the Hurricane of 1938, leaving the caisson, which can be seen today. | |
