Explore the Island
Mansion Beach
Mansion is our family's favorite beach and is one of the island’s most picturesque. The beach marks the north end of what’s known as Crescent Beach, and is generally less crowded, making it great for a nice walk, body surfing or some beach combing.
Mohegan Bluffs & Trail
It’s a bit of a climb to get there with 141 steps leading down to the sandy beach, but the payoff is spectacular. Your lookout sits on clay cliffs that offer one of the most dramatic views of the Atlantic in RI, and a vista that extends all the way to Montauk.
The Oar
Take a trip here for great sushi and the best mudslide on the island!
Block Island Beach House
The bar behind the beach house has fire pits, a great view and small bites perfect for a quick lunch or to go with a drink before dinner.
Block Island Farmer's Market
If a drizzle of local honey on a fresh-baked scone is your idea of a nice morning, you can head to the market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 9 to 11:30am (Word to the wise, come early before the scone lady sells out.)
Block Island North Light
This is one of the island’s best bets for great scenery, with coastal views and the historic North Light. The area includes Settler’s Rock, which you’ll encounter right next to the parking lot – it’s a monument inscribed with the names of the original English families who settled on the island in 1661. You can hike about half a mile across the shoreline to the lighthouse you’ll see in the distance.
Elevation Studio
If you'd like to get on the mat for some yoga before a beach day, this is the place for you!
Winfield's
Winfield's is a long time family favorite. Dine here for raw bar on the deck and a cozy meal in the dining room. Head to the Yellow Kittens next door for an after-dinner drink.
Hotel Manisses
Hotel Manisses has some of the best food on the island. Head to their garden for a magical meal under the lights. Their farm is next door, if you want to stop by and see some red kangaroos and camels beforehand!
The Barn At Spring House
The Barn is one of Block Island’s best kept secrets. This unique dining venue features an open kitchen and a wood fired grill. As soon as you step into the Barn, you immediately feel welcomed.
