You may have always been told that summer is the best time to enjoy Narragansett Bay. But while summers here are undeniably amazing, you’ll be happy to know there’s plenty to see here in every season. In fact, right now is the perfect time to get a glimpse of all the migratory harbor seals hanging out in the bay. Save the Bay is currently offering Seal and Lighthouse tours, and they’re fantastic.

There, you'll have sweeping views of seals resting on Citing Rock off of Rose Island and the Newport Bridge.
The cruise is worth it for an up-close-and-personal look at these adorable creatures alone -- but the tour also includes a stop at Rose Island Lighthouse.

There, you'll have a chance to get out of the boat for awhile and enjoy a lighthouse tour.
The cost of this seasonal experience is $47 for adults and $37 for children and Save the Bay members (children under three are free).
