Block Island, RI

Old Harbor, Block Island

Although it’s only 12 miles off the coast, Block Island feels worlds away with its unspoiled beauty — rolling green bluffs, 17 miles of beaches, and miles of stone walls and walking trails.

Highlights include the dramatic Mohegan Bluffs, the 19th-century Southeast Lighthouse, and the charming shops and inns of Old Harbor.

Outdoor lovers can bike quiet back roads, kayak in Great Salt Pond, or explore more than 350 freshwater ponds and nature preserves.

The Victorian seaside architecture with a backdrop of wild landscapes comes straight from a 19th century novel.
