1645 Off Southeast Road Block Island

The fact that their descendants are still year-round Island residents is a testament to the connection between person and place that exists only in the rarest and most beautiful settings in the world. Cat Rock and Whale Rock are exposed at low tide and visible beneath the surface at high tide from the standing vantage point on the land. The wreck of the Green Arrow lies on the beach below to the north – structures of less recent wrecks and ancient anchors also lie under the waters nearby. The scenery below the waters even surpasses the beauty above and provides access to the sinister and fascinating maritime history that is entirely indigenous to Block Island – just bring a snorkel and mask. Amazing views of the Atlantic, breathtaking sunrises in the mornings and otherworldly visions of the moon rising from the horizon at sunset are complemented by the sound of crashing waves.
