Information: Land, rent a moped, explore! Block Island has 17 miles of beaches, protected by northern & southern lighthouses and spectacular bluffs, and surrounded by rolling roads and winding paths. The Block Island Conservancy and other environmental organizations are responsible for protecting over 40% of the island from development in perpetuity. Many of the beaches on the island are isolated and nearly untouched providing breathtaking views and utmost tranquility. Block Island has been called the "Bermuda of the North," so most visitors choose bicycles or mopeds as their primary form of island transportation. The beach at the base of the 200’ tall Mohegan Bluffs is the most beautiful on the island, harboring a secluded, if rocky, place to swim and surf. It’s a bit of a climb to get there, however, with a set of 141 steps leading down to the sand. Make the effort and the payoff is spectacular, with clay cliffs that offer one of the most dramatic views of the Atlantic in all of Rhode Island, and a vista that can extend all the way to Montauk on the tip of Long Island.
