Review:

For a New England beach like no other, take the short ferry trip over to the picturesque Block Island. Stretching out to cover around 7,000 acres of land, this gorgeous island is home to some of New England's most wonderful and magical beaches.

Only a thousand people live here permanently, so if you come at a non-busy time of year, you'll feel like you basically have the place to yourself, but if you visit in the summer alongside the thousands of other tourists, you'll see Block Island in a whole new light, with a lively vibe and a lot of parties and activities going on at all times.

Stick to the southern shore if you want easy access to local stores, eateries, and other amenities.
