The Mohegan Bluffs are one of Block Island's most acclaimed natural wonders, named for the 1590 indigenous battle between the Mohegan and Niantic tribes. The 200-foot bluffs are the location of the Block Island Southeast Lighthouse, which has been moved several times due to bluff erosion. In addition to serving as a dramatic Atlantic Ocean overlook site, the bluffs provide access to a secluded beach area at Corn Cove that is accessible via a set of more than 140 public stairs. On clear days, views atop the bluffs extend all the way to Montauk and Long Island. Visitor access is permitted between dusk and dawn, with sunbathing, swimming, surfing, and dog-walking serving as popular visitor activities.
