I went out to the Island on Sat. crappy weather but still a productive visit. i met a couple buddies out there and chilled with the owners of the Seacrest Inn...... then went to Captian Nicks to talk to that Marc dude, i think he\'s the owner. i\'m looking forward to this run even more now. -

Quote from: Wikipedia
Block Island is an island in the Atlantic Ocean approximately ten miles south of the coast of Rhode Island. It is separated from the mainland by Block Island Sound. As of the 2000 census it had a population of 1,010 living on a land area of 25.211 km? (9.734 sq mi). The island is a fragment of glacial terminal moraine (tracing through the Outer Lands region).[1]
Beaches
Crescent Beach: This beach can be viewed from the Pt. Judith Ferry run by Interstate Navigation on the way to the island. It contains three smaller beaches, Fred Benson Town Beach (still popularly known as "State Beach" due to its former status as one), Scotch Beach, and Mansion Beach, all of which are semi-safe for swimming and line Corn Neck Road. "State Beach" is the only beach on the island with on duty life guards, as well as a beach pavilion with food and boogie board/chair rentals. For smaller children, the "Surf Beach" or "Baby Beach" that begins at the Surf Hotel, near the Beachhead offers calm water for smaller children.
Black Rock: Black Rock is known as the island\'s **** beach on the island. It can be quite a bit more rough than Crescent beach, and the beach can also be very rocky. This beach is not recommended for small children.
Ballard\'s Beach: Ballard\'s Beach is the premiere location for adults to go and be able to consume alcohol. The Beach is owned and operated by Ballard\'s, a bar and restaurant which has entertainment and a relaxed atmosphere. This beach is right on the left of the Ferry Docks and is usually crowded. This beach is not recommended for small children.
Most beaches on Block Island are not safe for swimming, and the beaches at and near North Point are extremely dangerous as there is a strong undertow.
Tourist Locations
Block Island contains a number of locations for tourists besides the beach.
Southeast Lighthouse: Located directly off of Spring Street on the Mohegan Trail, visitors can climb a staircase to the top of the lighthouse during the summer.
Mohegan Bluffs: Located directly next to the Southeast Lighthouse, the Bluffs are the site of a battle between the invading Mohegan Indians, and the native Manisee Indians in which the Mohegans were driven off the edge of the tall cliffs to their deaths on the beach below. Today, one can walk down a long staircase to the bottom of these clay cliffs and look out over the Atlantic. On clear days, Montauk, New York can be seen in the distance from the southwestern side of the island.
North Lighthouse: Located at the very northern tip of Block Island, at the end of Corn Neck Road, the North Light warns boaters of a stretch of dangerous shallow waters.
Farmers Market: Held every Saturday and Wednesday during the summer, the farmers market contains many island grown vegetables and island made goods, including bees-wax candles and honey. The times and location can vary, so check with the local newspaper, The Block Island Times, for more information.

Hmm... that\'s weird that the site doesn\'t mention the beaches at the Bluffs (swimming in them is definitely dangerous, but so much fun!) and the **** Beach which is about a mile away from the Bluffs. :idunno:

I\'ve been over to it twice in the past few years. If you go down the steps by the Bluffs, take a right (facing the ocean), and walk to the rocks, there is supposedly a designated "****" area. I saw gross people there both times, though, so I don\'t think anyone would want to get naked in the area! :vomit::lol: -

Hey come on Robyn gross people have the right to get naked too! Besides, you gotta expect that... it\'s not a designated **** supermodel beach
