Our Take

It doesn't get much more New England than Block Island. The small island, just off the coast of Rhode Island, offers 17 miles of beaches, delicious seafood, lighthouses, Victorian charm, and more. Don't miss the Mohegan Bluffs, which feature spectacular views and a beautiful beach. Just prepare for the 140 steps that take you down to (and back up from) the beach.

“A must-see on Block Island”

Some people say the beach at the base of the 200-foot tall Mohegan Bluffs is the most beautiful on the island, harboring a secluded, if rocky, place to swim and surf. It’s a bit of a climb to get there, however, with a set of 141 steps leading down to the sand. Make the effort and the payoff is spectacular, with clay cliffs that offer one of the most dramatic views of the Atlantic in all of Rhode Island, and a vista that can extend all the way to Montauk on the tip of Long Island. The steps are easy to find – there’s a plaque at the Bluff overlook, commemorating the history of the bluffs (Mohegan Bluffs got their name from a Native American battle dating to 1590, where 40 members of a Mohegan raiding party were said to have been driven off the cliffs to their deaths by the Manisseans, the victorious natives of the island). Mohegan Bluffs is also the 5th stop on the Block Island Bicycle Tour.
