Block Island is located off the coast of the U.S. state of Rhode Island, named after Dutch explorer Adriaen Block. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point, Long Island, New York, and 13 miles (21 km) south from mainland Rhode Island, from which it is separated by Block Island Sound.

Mohegan Bluffs

Two-hundred-foot cliffs with great views of the Atlantic.

Reviewed By stevendO6647JP

Beautiful! We got there at 10am only a few people there but right after that people kept constanlty coming (probably because the ferry arrives around this time which i believe is the first of the day). Honestly, even with more people its pretty big and its not crowded. Tip - keep walking right or even left to walk along shoreline and away from people. It is very rocky (small uneven rocks) so wear good shoes. As a billion other people said, there is alot of stairs but unless you have difficulty with normal stairs, this will be fine for you. Going up is of course more tiring but will only take a few minutes if you go at a slightly brisk pace. There are plenty of taxis from the ferry to take you there. I believe it was 16 or so around there bucks one way for 2 people and only takes like 5-10 minutes to get there. It is got friendly, the taxis are dog friendly and the ferry is dog friendly. **If you have a drone and want to fly it here such as a DJI drone you have to do special authorization before flying. I did not and could not fly it here due to airport nearby. Only place i could fly my drone was the northern part of the island where the other lighthouse is (there is southeast lighthouse by Mohegan bluffs) and they have a nice quiet beach area up this way too. Have fun!!

We rented bicycles from Peter to explore Block Island during our honeymoon. Since we rented after 5pm, the next day was free! We had the bicycles for over 24 hours for $40 each. Peter equipped us with a lock and a helmet (both included in the rental). We both got bikes with collapsable baskets (also included in our rental!) If you are interested in exploring Block Island by bicycle, rent from Beach Rose!

Southeast Lighthouse

These two lighthouses stand watch over tiny Block Island, scene of 59 ship wrecks in the early 1800s.

Reviewed By AlexB10499 - Providence, United States

The Block Island Southeast Light is a National Historic Landmark, an island icon, and a success story of historic preservation in New England. This beautiful 1875 Gothic-style brick building sits atop the Mohegan Bluffs, an even more beautiful natural setting, where it shines its light out for dozens of miles over the sea. By the 1990s, the cliffs had eroded so far back that they threatened the building, so the entire structure was moved 300 feet back to ensure its preservation. Today it houses a museum and allows people to climb to the top of its tower, and its wide green lawn invites people to relax and picnic. As of summer 2019 the exterior of the tower is being renovated; work will proceed to the interior once that work is finished.

Rodman's Hollow

Wildlife refuge formed by glaciers.

Reviewed By AlexB10499 - Providence, United States

The birthplace of Block Island’s conservation movement, and one of New England’s most remarkable coastal landscapes. Rodman’s Hollow is a place that’s better seen than described, but I’ll do my best to give you a sense of it. From its trailhead off Cooneymus Road, the hollow appears as a vast, forested basin in the land. Created by the same glaciers that made New England’s present geography, you descend into the hollow along the primary trail, Black Rock Road. You can take smaller paths to your left and right to go further into the forest, but I love to follow Black Rock Road until it begins to rise again out of the basin. Somehow the colors of the sky and wild grasses seem more intense in that place — clouds seem to sit on hilltops, and you catch sea breezes at each crest until you begin to see the ocean. From there you can follow paths along the Black Rock Bluffs at the southern shore, which offer some of the Island’s best views. In spring, the many shad trees in the Hollow bloom into a silver color, which is a beautiful sight to take in from the trailhead.

As if Block Island isn't enough of a retreat all on its own, a little time at Koru is a mini-vacation within a vacation! The staff at Koru have never disappointed whether its been a pedicure or massage for me! Services and products used are top notch (the polish on my August 2019 pedicure lasted longer than any other polish I've ever had). Jill is a BI business owner who makes visitors feel so welcome in sharing love for her island home. Highly, highly recommend pampering yourself with a visit to Koru!
