I've recently started testing out LightSail, but I would like to keep my logging centralized in CloudWatch, but cannot seem to find anything that would enable this. Interestingly LightSail instances do not appear in the EC2 Dashboard. I thought they were just EC2 instances beneath the surface.

Yes... but.
Conceptually speaking, you are the customer of Lightsail, and Lightsail is the customer of EC2.
It's as though there were an intermediary between you and AWS. The Lightsail resources are in EC2, but they're not in your EC2. They appear to be owned by an AWS account other than your AWS account, so you can't see them directly.
Parallels for this:
RDS is a "customer" of EC2/EBS. RDS instances are EC2 machines with EBS volumes. Where are they in the console? They aren't there. The underlying resources aren't owned by your account.
In EC2, EBS snapshots are stored in S3. Which bucket? Not one that you can see. EBS is a "customer" of S3. It has its own buckets.
S3 objects can be migrated to the Glacier storage class. Which Glacier vault? Again, not one that you can see. S3 is a "customer" of Glacier. It has its own vaults.
Every API Gateway endpoint is automatically front-ended by CloudFront. Which distribution? You get the idea... API Gateway is a "customer" of CloudFront.
I am not implying in any way that Lightsail is actually a separate entity from AWS in any meaningful sense... I don't know how it's actually organized... but operationally, that is how it works. You can't see these resources.
