Visit Rhode Island. Unspoiled by progress, the Victorian “treasure island” of Block Island is located approximately 13 miles south of Rhode Island and is separated by the Block Island Sound. Whether you take a ferry or travel by air, this popular summer tourist destination features two historic lighthouses, excellent biking and hiking trails, and many acres of untouched natural areas for migratory birds.
Every summer, Block Island holds its annual Block Island Race Week, a week-long sailboat race, in addition to its annual Fourth of July Parade and the Block Island Arts Festival. Another fabulous attraction is the U-853 U-boat wreck, located seven miles off the coast of Block Island – a great destination for recreational divers.
Visit the area’s numerous galleries, antique shops, village stores, restaurants, and inns. The Rhode Island lodging choices include Providence Biltmore, Marriott, Hampton Inn, Hilton, Hyatt, Best Western, Quality Inn, Day’s Inn, Motel 6, and others.
