Block Island is a destination with beaches in mind: there are a variety of public and private beaches located around the island. Favorite include Crescent Beach, stretching several miles from the Old Harbor, or Dory’s Cove Beach, off of West Side Road.
With very quiet country side roads and nature preserves, Block Island is a walker and biker’s paradise. There are 40 miles of marked trails, several starting next to the New Harbor’s marina, such as the Greenway trails. Bikes can be rented everywhere, including at the marinas.
Don’t miss the cliffs of Mohegan Bluffs, on the southern end of the island. The beach below can be accessed going down several flights of steep stairs. The island’s North and South light houses are also a must see.
There are several surfing and kite surfing spots on Block Island, check out Diamondblue Surf Shop, 442 Dodge St, for more info. They rent and sell surfboards and paddle boards, plus great line of surfwear. Lessons available.
