Review:
Cow Cove is one of the best beaches of Block Island for several reasons, with the most notable reason of all being the scenery and views.
This beach is home to the North Light lighthouse and other landmarks like Settler's Rock, which features the names of the English settlers who first landed and lived here way back in the 17th century.
The lighthouse itself was built in the 19th century but is still a very historic and fascinating location, with a little museum opening up on weekends through the summer.
You'll also find the Sachem Pond Wildlife Refuge at the northern end of Cow Cove, home to many species of migratory birds.
