I Love the Rock Contest

Ever walk or bike past Pomham Rocks Lighthouse on the East Bay Bike Path? Take your kayak or boat on the Riverside coast of the Providence River? Next time, take a selfie with The Lighthouse in the background. Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse invite you to show you LOVE THE ROCK this summer, by day or night, from land or sea, on a solitary run or on a group tour. Amateurs, professionals, young and old, local residents and those from afar are welcome to participate in this fun contest. Visitors are only allowed on the island on scheduled tours and personal watercraft are prohibited from accessing the lighthouse. But no need to worry, we just want you to put the historic light station in perspective.

Share your photos with friends on your social media and let them know you are in East Providence and that you LOVE THE ROCK. And then send your selfies to Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse at pomhamrockslighthouse@yahoo.com.  We will post a variety of photos on our social media sites as well. If your selfie is selected as a Friends’ favorite, you will receive Pomham Rocks’ merchandise. Prizes include hats and t-shirts, embroidered with a design of The Lighthouse and mugs, featuring a sketch of the local landmark. The contest runs until August 31.
