From Block Island and South County to Northern Rhode Island, you'll find scenic areas to enjoy. Just 12 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, most of Block Island is exactly as it was many years ago, with wide open spaces and spectacular sites like Mohegan Bluffs and Rodman Hollow . At Mohegan Bluffs, you'll rise to about 200 feet above sea level, where you'll enjoy panoramic views of the island.
Unspoiled beaches are the main attraction here, and they surround the island.
Block Island is accessible year round by ferry service from Point Judith, and seasonally you can get ferry service from Providence, Newport, New London, Connecticut and Montauk, Long Island. Bringing a car is expensive and unnecessary. Getting around on the island is best done on foot or by bike. For longer distances, many inns offer courtesy cars, or you can take a cab, which is reasonably priced. South County is situated along the magnificent southern coastline of the Ocean State, a shoreline that offers approximately 40 beaches.
