Sightseeing
Frederick J. Benson Town Beach
With its classic soft sand and wide shoreline, Town Beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It has nice surf for boogie boarders, body surfers, and beginning longboarders.
Its proximity to town also makes it especially convenient.
Beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards are available to rent, and there is a beach grill for lunch.
Mohegan Bluffs
Recently voted one of the best beaches in New England, Mohegan Bluffs is a scenic location on the southern shore, known for dramatic clay cliffs rising 150–200 feet above the Atlantic Ocean.
Some people say the beach at the base of the Bluffs is the most beautiful on the island, offering a secluded, rocky place to swim and surf. Reaching it requires descending 141 steps, but the payoff is spectacular: dramatic Atlantic views that can extend to Montauk at the tip of Long Island.
Block Island Maritime Institute
The Block Island Maritime Institute is an ideal setting for daytime field trips.
The Nature Conservancy named Block Island one of the last great places on Earth, and BIMI is one reason why. Founded in 1997, BIMI offers children’s programs, maritime activities, and an outdoor aquarium with species from the Great Salt Pond and the waters surrounding Block Island.
Programs are available during the summer.
Block Island Historical Society Museum
The museum has an extensive collection of artifacts related to Block Island’s history, from Manissean stone tools to early New England maritime and farming displays. Two floors of exhibits include fine furniture, Victorian collectibles, textiles, quilts, boat models, tools, fishing gear, historic maps, and vintage photographs.
Abrams Animal Farm
Llamas, camels, lemurs, and a zedonk—a zebra-donkey mix—are all right across the street.
The 1661 Animal Farm offers visitors a unique opportunity to interact with fascinating animals. With a focus on education and sustainability, guests can learn about different species in a fun environment. It is a wonderful destination for families and animal lovers, and admission is free.
