Gardiners Point Island is an island in Block Island Sound that was the former location of the Gardiner Island Lighthouse as well as Fort Tyler. It is a very small island just north of Gardiners Island. Some today consider it to be part of Gardiner’s Island, as it once was a little over 100 years ago. The state of New York briefly considered turning it into a park but it is deemed a navigational hazard because of the possibilities of unexploded ordnance. It is privately owned now and often referred to as "The Ruins"
