Block Island, Rhode Island is a gorgeous 10-mile island located just off the tip of Long Island's beautiful Montauk Point, known as one of the New York City area's top getaway destinations for centuries. The stunning retreat area, which has been named as one of America's Last Great Places by the Nature Conservancy, once attracted the likes of international luminaries like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. Couples can explore the island's gorgeous rocky beachfront cliffs on romantic strolls or tour several area historic lighthouses that have been converted into living history museums today. Tourists flock to the island throughout the summer months for hiking, fishing, cycling, and sailing opportunities throughout the island's extensive undeveloped natural preserves. The island's annual Fourth of July celebration attracts one of the New York area's largest holiday crowds, featuring an acclaimed annual fireworks show.
