    A very strange place.
    Brian S.

    A very strange place Every one of the islands off the coast of New England has some strange things that most tourists never experience. Bizarre or unique things that are hidden away and must be sought out by visitors. The sacred labyrinth is one of those strange things. You won't see it on maps but it is located on the west side of Corn Neck Road about half way up (or down) the huge hill leading to north light. The only indication that it exists is the small sign stuck in the stone wall that says "Labyrinth Entrance". I'm sure a bezillion people go right by it without noticing. Assuming you find the sign, climb a small ladder over the stone wall and enter the labyrinth. You will see a display case with a few type written pages explaining what hell you are about to see. The explanation emphasizes that this is a labyrinth and not a maze. A maze has dead ends but a labyrinth never leads a person to a blind spot. Then it goes on to explain the religious and meditative aspect of the labyrinths and how they have been used for thousands of years for prayer and introspective thought. From the air the labyrinth must look a bit like little crop circle. I've been here many times, especially in the off season and just about every time I've gone I have seen someone, usually a native of the island slowly walking around and around in one of the circles. A very strange and bizarre sight, especially when it's snowing or in heavy weather. Never any music or conversation. this is always a very quiet and thoughtful place. On the far end of the labyrinth a small display of human heads can be seen. Not real heads, but a small area of about 20 or so sculptured heads in different expressions. The sign said they were made by Gail Goldsmith and resembles a little Easter Island. Sort of. An unexpected place for a group of heads but extremely creative and interesting work. The labyrinth is a very strange and unique place. Personally I find walking by the ocean far more meditative and relaxing than walking in circles, but I have to admit the place is very cool and I do end up at least stopping by to take a quick look when I am on the north part of the island. I never found out exactly who build it or when but I do know everyone is welcome and encouraged to use it. There is never a fee but they don't exactly advertise the labyrinth's present and very few tourists or transient visitors to the island know or care that it's here. If you do seek it out be a very quiet. Keep your trap closed and make sure your stupid, demonic and twice accursed cell phone is off. The labyrinth is a very special and unique place and deserves respect.

We ended up grabbing a car instead and we were very very grateful. We got to see all of the island and did not die in the heat and on the many hills across the island.

    Okay if I could give separate ratings, then this is what I would rate this experience as: 5 Stars…read morefor the employees, they were awesome and they provided transportation to/from ferry to the rental location. They were kind, and engaging. The actual rental car was physically a disaster - these was quite a lot of cosmetic damage, . . . whatever the dents and scrapes were of no real concern to me, also there was A LOT of beach sand inside the car, but again no big deal. The bald tires, the check engine light on as well as the tire pressure monitor light on . . . were a big deal and quite concerning. I was renting for 6 hours and traveled a total of maybe 25 miles throughout the entire day just sightseeing, however the entire time I was driving, I was keenly aware of the bald tires situation and was uneasy, thinking about other drivers and having to stop short etc. so with that coming into play, my overall rating was much lower than I expected. If I was to rent again from Aldo's, I'd insist on a vehicle that would pass RI State Inspection, because I KNOW for sure those tires that are currently on that Camry, would NOT.

    This is one of those places I wish I could give more than 5 stars to. It's that's beautiful…read more Rodman's Hollow is indeed a hollow, sort of a big hole in the landscape. It's a bit under 50 acres and is crossed with hiking trails. 50 acres might not sound like much but since the trails go up and down and all around you can spend hours exploring this place. The Hollow was formed during the last period of glaciation, about 20,000 years ago and is the only know habitat of a small vole like creature. Don't plan on actually seeing the beast because they are reported to be extremely shy, but I have seen very small trails in the grass that might be made by the voles. Unfortunately besides the voles Rodman's Hollow is also home to an enormous amount of ticks. If you do go hiking make sure you take a bath in tick repellent or you might be taking home more than just fond memories. Rodman's Hollow is a relatively short bike ride from the center of town and only a few miles from Southeast Lighthouse. It's a incredible beautiful part of Block Island that unfortunately few people take the time to visit.

    BI has done an outstanding job of preserving their green-space. Unfortunately they've done a…read moremiserable job of providing maps of any kind, most significantly lacking in trail maps. Rodman's Hollow is gorgeous and can keep you meandering for an afternoon. If you're an average hiker, or really anyone in good health, the BI trails will not be too challenging and they're full of gorgeous rewards. If you're not up for a long hike or any moderately challenging inclines, you may find yourself facing more of a hike than you'd hoped for since getting information about trails is the only downside to BI hiking.

We bought our tickets online and in advance, we did our waivers and etc etc. We did something like this before elsewhere so we aren't new, we knew we needed gloves and what attire ( sneakers and something cozy nothing too tight or short). We got there for our designated time and were greeted by a man named Clay, he warned us there was a bunch of students that would be there for the next 2 hours, the same slot my mom and I were supposed to go. He said we could climb if we wanted or come back anytime we wanted that day or another day, we chose to go down the road to shop and come back and I'm so glad we did because we got to have the place practically to ourselves, thanks for the heads up Clay! Okay so we come back, this place is huge! Climbing, zip lining and tons of courses and levels. Even a kids area for the little ones, so cute. I want to name a few people who we worked with for the day who were an absolute delight and they need praise. Here are the names: Shawn who checked us in. Tucker who briefed us and gave us the rules and Ryan who was very kind and told us some stuff in regards to which course we wanted to do next ( because we practically did them all). The staff here are delightful and kind. And Ryan even helped a child who was stuck and needed help, he sprung into immediate action and was quick no second thought. Made me feel safe as an adult, so I know that child felt safe, GREAT JOB! I think the intensity of this place is great for all levels and there was enough zip lines for the amount of exercise you do. It was a nice view and the staff made it more fun. The music was good, which I enjoyed as well. I have nothing negative to say here. They have a huge parking lot, and it looks like they do night courses and ax throwing soon, I believe. So glad I booked this, we had a blast. Kudos to you all!

    A gentle beach…read more Block Island has over 17 miles of beaches. 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
