    An adventure on Clay Head Trail was the perfect mid-afternoon side quest to get out of the main…read moredrag & enjoy the unique beauty of Block Island. The parking lot at the trailhead is located down a dirt road off which can be a bit treacherous for two wheeled devices, so proceed with caution. It was a dry day when we visited, but I still noticed the remains of squishy spots. I would recommend some sturdy shoes for damper days, unless you don't mind getting your feet a little mucky. The walk to the beach is easy, quick, & gorgeous with lucious nature on all sides. The rocks on the beach are remarkable & well worth taking note of. So many unique shapes & colors. I spotted some of the roundest rocks I've ever seen in my life - Perfect egg shapes & disc shapes. Continuing back on the main path will lead you through a surreal field of rippling, golden, tall grass & to a vantage point where the bluffs are visible. Take caution! Erosion is real & so is the danger of tumbling down the bluffs. Give the edge more space than you might give a super solid cliff. Lastly but certainly not least - L.N.T. Leave No Trace! Protect this beautiful nature sanctuary & the rugged beauty of Block Island.

    My friends and I hiked this 3.5 mile picturesque trail along the bluffs on the east side of the…read moreisland, winding its uphill and downhill at various points. The trail was a bit overgrown which is a shame. One of my friends had a branch that accidentally hit her in the face, and my other friend lost her footing at one point. Although there were signs along the edge, warning hikers to not get too close because of the dangerous erosion, I could see kids testing that theory. At the midpoint, the trail features a unique tree and views of the ocean where you can easily see the wind farms and ferry. I'd give it 5 stars if the trail was better groomed.

    We are here in Beautiful Goddard State Park for a week early Father's Day celebration with our five…read moreboys! This park is a vast well maintained full service state park in the smallest state in the union, Rhode Island! For a small fee, we rented a gorgeous little private shaded spot with two picnic benched and real bathroom facilities. We brought out food and a small grill to cookout. They did come check our permit, which you need to reserve to grill. Dell's lemonade truck is often present, so we treated ourselves to the famous Dell's frozen lemonade-yay! We were there a good 5 or 6 hours and it was a perfectly lovely and enjoyable day for our family to relax and enjoy our rare time to reconnect in person. What an invaluable experience. I can't stress enough having uninterrupted time with those you love. Cell service is non existent, so take this time to disconnect off the grid and just live and love. This place is a true simple gift-a Beautiful way to reconnect and just feed the soul. Take my advice, do it now, while you can. Make a happy plan before life makes other plans! Thanks for following me, Happy summer 2026! ~Tami from Miami

    Beautiful, large park with many different sections. A great boardwalk by the narrow beach. A…read morewonderful place to take dogs, lots of benches to take rests, and an ample parking lot whose potholes were recently fixed, yay! Sometimes it's hard to find out what part of the park you're meant to meet someone in since there are so many sections. You can walk along the long beach or try a woodsy hiking trail. The trails on the right of the beach have either steps or a gradual slope to get up to the top of them, and you can look down over a small cliff to see the water below. The trails on the left of the gazebo are beautiful and give you many options, but people ride horses here, so be mindful of the droppings! This park has fantastic sunsets and multiple picnic areas, plus multi Porta potties that are usually in decent condition to use if needed. The bridge is great to look at, but can get crowded with families doing holiday photo shoots in the fall, so I've become wary of coming here since being stuck on one side of the bridge while a family made us wait to cross until they were done with pictures (ugh). I've come here for walks/hikes and even to wade at multiple times of year and always enjoy a beautiful day and peaceful experience here.

That's a lot for a small island, You can find crowded, sandy beaches, remote rocky beaches, beaches with cliffs, beaches with dunes or beaches with crashing surf. Just about anything you want. If what you happen to want is a quiet, gentle beach then go to Coast Guard Beach. This beach is located on the breach of the Great Salt Pond so it's sheltered from most of the huge surf or large waves found on most other Block Island beaches. It has a nice sandy beach area with few rocks and great views of both the ocean and the salt pond. Since it is shallow and protected the water is usually a bit warmer than the chilly open ocean beaches and you don't get quite the howling winds of other spots. It's a great place to hang out but the currant does get pretty feisty at times in the middle of the breach so if you attempt to swim across to the other side you better know what you are doing or you'll probably die. It's a bit tricky to find the beach, you have to first find Coast Guard Road and then park at the old Coast Guard Station. Then look for the little and colorful beach sign. It leads through some bushes and beach roses but after a short walk you'll be at the beach. In the winter you'll have the place all to yourself but in the summer months it can be a bit crowded but never as busy as the town beach or the popular Mohegan Bluffs. Always plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy some peace and quiet. Like all beaches on Block Island there is no admission charge and if something unexpected happens the coast guard station is right next door. This beach is a great little spot to enjoy the smell, sounds and feel of salt water when wind, waves and crowds are a bit too much on the other beaches. A gentle beach
