There were plenty of restaurants and shops in town and good views of the harbor. We ate three of our five meals (two breakfasts and a lunch) at a small take-out called Rebecca's. It turned out that they had some indoor seating, which we took advantage of for breakfast. Getting around Block Island is a dilemma. If you're young enough, bicycles and mopeds seem to work well. Getting a car across on the ferry requires advanced planning, and you might find parking at your hotel difficult. For old folks like us, taxis were a necessity to get beyond the old harbor area.

Definitely you want to visit this island at least once. It has breathtaking views,hikes in the nature unspoiled nature with sight of wildlife. The New England experience at its best! Food also is great especially if you are a sea food lover. Definitely do the Rodman’s hollow on

I really enjoyed New Shoreham. It is beautiful with so many beaches and hiking and biking trails. I went "off season" so it was very quiet, and some eateries had closed. But I enjoyed the quiet. One of my favorite things is how dog friendly everyplace is.

Wonderful walking around Block Island ! Beautiful views, lovely gardens ,great architecture, dozens of restaurants and unique shops and galleries. The visitors guide maps direct you to routes to easily see the many highlights . I felt like a I was on a vacation in another country- so rich with historical buildings, amazing vistas over the bluffs , fabulous ocean views , the wind farms and lush flowering plants everywhere.

A beautiful island to visit, even in November after most lodging and restaurants are closed for the season. Bring your walking shoes or bikes and enjoy the many lovely views of the ocean and quiet scrub woodland walks. The Barn restaurant just uphill from the Inn at Spring House served fabulous food. McAloon's Pub and the Island Pub were also fun for lunch. When we return, we will re-book at the Inn at Spring House - beautiful, modern accommodation, with a nice balcony to eat our picnic lunch on and view the ocean, after arriving from the ferry. And all the animals at Abram's farm near the Inn, including little kangaroos and camels, were a delight. Adolfo's breakfast omelet with spinach, zucchini and fresh goat cheese was fabulous. Plus, the bike rack in the back yard was a nice secure place to leave our bikes.

This harbor town with large ferry terminal, is always bustling. A nice assortment of hotels, restaurants, and shops greet the arriving visitors. Very walkable with many sidewalks and prominent crosswalks. Cars were always considerate of walkers/bikers. Beautiful Victorian-style architecture was prominent throughout the town.
