A trip of only a day to Rhode Island’s Block Island, if not longer, still provides an opportunity to see much of the preserved and quiet outdoor beauty of the island in traveling by bicycle or other means. Some 12 miles off the state’s southern coast, it can be reached by ferry from the Rhode Island mainland; Long Island, New York; and Connecticut.
Known for restored Victorian-era inns, bed and breakfasts, and shingled cottages that look out upon the ocean, the pork chop shaped island (approximately seven miles long and three miles across) has a range of publicly accessible hiking trails a short ride from the primary ferry arrival port of Old Harbor, a designated National Historic District, where bike, car, moped rentals, and taxis are available.
Biking to North Lighthouse on Island
One possible route for a biking tour from Old Harbor is heading toward the North Light lighthouse at Sandy Point on the island’s northern tip, which is also the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge. On the way along the moderate hills of Corn Neck Road are captivating views of the surrounding water, windswept bluffs, and beaches (all of which, unlike on nearby Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, are public).
