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

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!

The Greenway Trails are a lovely collection of dirt tree-shaded trails that interconnect and take you around the airport. For the adventurous experienced hiker, you could take it down Lakeside Drive to the Mohegan Trail and back to Old Harbor. Remember to bring water.

Crescent beach on Block Island
Reviewed By CPlayer - Grafton, United States
One of the cliches about the self-descriptions found on dating web sites and in classified ads are all those people who like to go on long walks. Well, Crescent Beach was created just for those people! This beach is miles long. The sand is clean with just the right amount of seaweed and "stuff" coming from the ocean. My understanding is that September is still considered high season on Block Island. That being the case, I never felt crowded on this beach. More than enough room for everyone, especially those who like to go on long walks. The only difficulties one might have is at high tide, when there is no space between the water and the rock pile retaining walls behind the beach. This beach alone makes a trip to Block Island worthwhile.
