I always thought Block Island was one of the best kept secrets. Well now the secret is out. Travel + Leisure named Block Island one of the best beach towns in the United States. I mean we always knew that, heck we built a brand around the island 
. Now find out why Travel + Leisure thinks so as well…
Block Island Laid Back Vibes + Stunning Views
Life does feel like it slows down when you’re on the island. I like to say Block Island gives you a chance to reflect, relax, and restore yourself. Here’s what Travel + Leisure had to say:
“A one-hour ferry ride from mainland Rhode Island, Block Island combines a quaint downtown area, breathtaking coastal scenery, and a rolling green interior crisscrossed with low fieldstone walls, reminiscent of a remote British isle. The village-like Old Harbor has Victorian bed-and-breakfasts, quirky boutiques, and the island's one grocery store (there's not a chain to be found). It's all about the simple pleasures here: misty mornings, beach walks, ice cream on the front porch, bicycle rides, and afternoon hikes to mighty bluffs overlooking the Atlantic.”
Yes, of course we have to agree with everything they said!
It’s a great place to visit by yourself, as a couple, or as a family as the island has something to offer everyone. I probably sound like an ad for Block Island but I genuinely believe it’s one of the most idyllic places on the planet.
If you still need more proof that Block Island is one of the most magical places – check out some of our other posts about the island:
