“Sail away on the Block Island Ferry, take a trip back to care-free times.” Rhode Islander’s have been hearing that jingle every summer for the past two decades, and it really does speak a lot of truth. With 17 miles of beaches, Block Island is the perfect place to soak up the sun and have a couple of summery cocktails with your toes in the sand. If drinking is not your thing, rent a couple of bicycles or a moped to explore the beautiful sites, or head into the town to hit up the boutiques and do a little shopping.

Newport Cliff Walk and Mansions
