Surf’s Up on the Block

When you live so close to the water – or surrounded by it, in Block Island’s case – it becomes a part of you. The culture is molded by it, with borders fitted perfectly to every rise and fall of the tide.

While you may have explored a good bit of Block Island’s vast and different landscapes, there’s a good chance you haven’t experienced everything that the ocean around it has to offer. One of those experiences is surfing. And Block Island has some of the best places around to paddle out and meet your new favorite hobby.

Paint en Plein Air on Block Island

Artists have long been inspired by the natural unspoiled beauty of Block Island. Imagine setting up an easel to sketch and paint outdoors, channeling your inner Claude Monet. This summer, Providence-based artist Margaret Owen, is providing that opportunity in a group setting with her Block Island Plein Air Painting Workshop held August 3 to 5, 2018. Registration is open now but closes June 1.

See the Sights by Taxi Tour

Thanks to our year-round vehicle reservations, bringing your car along to Block Island is easier than ever. However, for short-stays, the island is manageable by foot, especially if you stay within walking distance of our dock. If you’re planning your first visit it’s important to note that there is no public transportation on Block Island. There are bikes and mopeds to rent and taxi cabs for getting from here to there, however if you want to sit back and enjoy an overview of the scenery, there’s nothing like an island tour by taxi.
