Sakonnet Lighthouse
Sakonnet Lighthouse, positioned off the coast of Little Compton, Rhode Island, stands as a historic beacon and a photographer's delight. Built in the late 19th century, this active lighthouse is perched on a rocky outcrop, offering dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The structure's distinct character and the surrounding seascape provide ample opportunities for striking landscape and seascape photography, especially during sunrise or sunset when the light casts a warm glow. The lighthouse is also a popular subject for long exposure photography, capturing the movement of the waves against the sturdy structure. Access to close-up views can be challenging as it requires a boat, but the lighthouse can be photographed from the mainland, offering a different perspective. Photographers should note that the area can be windy and prepare accordingly. (Little Compton, Rhode Island, USA)
