After visiting the Wickford Art Festival, we drove to the tip of that part of the "island" to the Point Judith Lighthouse. 
Point Judith, part of the town of Narragansett, extends more than a mile from the Rhode Island coast and markes the entrance to Narragansett Bay to the north and Block Island Sound to the south. Despite the lighthouse, frequent wrecks continued in the vicinity. In 1855 alone, 16 vessels were wrecked or stranded near Point Judith. In 1907, 22,860 vessels were counted passing the lighthouse in daylight hours. The traffic was four times greater than the traffic entering New York Harbor.
We enjoyed sitting by the ocean and listening to the water, one of our favorite things to do here. I even got a shot of a cute birdie that was playing next to me.
