Travel & Lodging

Getting to Block Island takes some doing but it's well worth the effort. We included a number of flight & travel options for those coming afar and included many options for lodging on the island. We've gone ahead and highlighted a few popular ones below. Given the location of our wedding, we recommend you book as soon as you're able so that you can be walking distance to the venue. And please don't hesitate to ask us about any travel related questions as we've done this trip so many times before!

Travel Note

GETTING TO THE ISLAND

Whether you are traveling by air or land, you will need to secure direct travel to the island. There are many ways of getting to/from the island depending on where you are coming from that include 5 ferry options (some with vehicle options) and 2 flight options that run regularly to/from the island. Please plan in advance to be sure you secure your travel to the island. Check the link below to see what works for you!

Travel Note

DO I NEED A CAR?

Block Island is fairly small and easy to explore without a car. There are bike and moped rentals (I recommend mopeds for the best experience as you can see the entire island in a day!) as well as taxis, too. If you want to leave a car on the mainland, there are public parking lots at all lots for $5-$15 per day. Check out the Google Map link for a general layout of the island in the case you choose to lodge or find yourself away from the main drag.
