Block Island has no shortage of things to do! Stop by the Block Island Chamber of Commerce in the Block Island Ferry Terminal for a map of the island and a map of the many greenway trails! Sights/Hiking: Mohegan Bluffs, Southeast Lighthouse, North Light, Clayhead Trail, Rodman's Hollow. Beaches: Block Island has a 2 mile stretch of beach that is beautiful for swimming.

Transportation will be provided to/from downtown Block Island for the Welcome Reception on Friday and the Wedding Ceremony & Reception on Saturday. Our After Party and Farewell Brunch are both in downtown Block Island, so no transportation will be provided. If you're exploring the island otherwise, you have a few options to get around including taxis, bike rentals and car rentals. Moped rentals are available but we do not recommend them due to safety concerns.
