Who doesn't love Block Island? Just 12 miles off the coast, it's a favorite destination for thousands of visitors every summer. Block Island in the winter, on the other hand, is a whole different experience. The crowds are smaller, for sure, and it's a bit chilly for sunbathing, but there's still plenty to do and see!
Did you know, for example, that most of the shops along Water Street are open on Tuesday afternoons in December? It's a great chance to pick up all your favorite Block Island keepsakes, and many of the shops offer cider, hot chocolate and tasty treats while you shop. And while ferry service is limited during the off-season, there are hotels open year-round, making it the perfect time for an overnight getaway during this busy time of year.
Can't get away right now? Not to worry! Many of your favorite Block Island shops are online, so you can check off everyone on your list right from your couch! Try one of these:
