Explore Newport's Coastal Wonders: Seals and the Rose Island Lighthouse with Save the Bay

My Seal Watch Tour with Save the Bay in Newport, Rhode Island, in April 2024 was a fantastic experience that included wildlife observation with beautiful photography. With my camera, I was prepared to capture Newport's coastal charm and natural beauty, and the tour far exceeded my expectations.

There was a tangible sense of excitement as we launched. The anticipation was heightened by the crisp, fresh air and the soft sway of the ocean during the boat trip, which was a deeply calming experience. The seals were, of course, the primary draw. These amazing animals could be found everywhere, playing merrily in the water and relaxing on the rocks. These cute animals allowed me to capture some fantastic close-ups of them; their inquisitive expressions and sleek bodies made for some truly memorable pictures.

The excursion not only provided a close encounter with the seals but also offered breathtaking views of Newport's most famous monuments. Our approach to the Rose Island Lighthouse was a truly awe-inspiring experience. The lighthouse, standing magnificently against the ocean, was a sight to behold. The warm glow of the setting sun created beautiful reflections in the placid waters, adding to the scene's beauty. Capturing the Rose Island Lighthouse in all its glory was one of the tour's most inspiring highlights, each shot capturing the historical significance and peaceful beauty of this coastal treasure.

The playful seals and the majestic lighthouse produced a wonderful symphony of natural beauty and maritime history. Among my best pictures are the ones I shot on this tour, which highlight Newport's breathtaking coastline scenery and animals.

The Seal Watch Tour with Save the Bay was not just a sightseeing trip, but a truly enlightening event. It provided a rare look into the natural world and an unparalleled opportunity to engage with Newport's rich nautical history. This tour is a must-do for anyone hoping to discover Rhode Island's coastline splendor, learn about its rich history, and take some amazing pictures.
