The area we go to is along the hotel strip . If you are staying at one of the hotels there you will have easy access to the beach otherwise you'll have to find a parking spot and walk on . Use the entrance ways along S. Emerson Ave , there are several of them . The beach is lovely but there is a downside , the beach itself is very narrow so when it begins to get crowded you are pretty much shoulder to shoulder with other beach goers . You will also find the sand to be grainy with lots of broken shells. Also, there are no public bathrooms as the strip is mainly for the hotel guests. Even still the ocean is relaxing and beautiful !

The parking lot at the trailhead is located down a dirt road off which can be a bit treacherous for two wheeled devices, so proceed with caution. It was a dry day when we visited, but I still noticed the remains of squishy spots. I would recommend some sturdy shoes for damper days, unless you don't mind getting your feet a little mucky. The walk to the beach is easy, quick, & gorgeous with lucious nature on all sides. The rocks on the beach are remarkable & well worth taking note of. So many unique shapes & colors. I spotted some of the roundest rocks I've ever seen in my life - Perfect egg shapes & disc shapes. Continuing back on the main path will lead you through a surreal field of rippling, golden, tall grass & to a vantage point where the bluffs are visible. Take caution! Erosion is real & so is the danger of tumbling down the bluffs. Give the edge more space than you might give a super solid cliff. Lastly but certainly not least - L.N.T. Leave No Trace! Protect this beautiful nature sanctuary & the rugged beauty of Block Island.

The trail was a bit overgrown which is a shame. One of my friends had a branch that accidentally hit her in the face, and my other friend lost her footing at one point. Although there were signs along the edge, warning hikers to not get too close because of the dangerous erosion, I could see kids testing that theory. At the midpoint, the trail features a unique tree and views of the ocean where you can easily see the wind farms and ferry. I'd give it 5 stars if the trail was better groomed.

If you're looking for a relaxing day with great scenery, beaches, and sightseeing, Block Island is definitely worth the trip.

Tip: While this place is an interesting destination, it's dangerous enough that you should probably think twice before bringing young children along for a visit. The day we visited was clear and lovely, but we unfortunately couldn't stay long because our footgear wasn't appropriate for hiking around inside the park. I look forward to returning with more appropriate shoes. Note that some of the cliffs here are both high and steep, so you should mind the signs which warn people to avoid getting to close to the cliff edges.

That's a lot for a small island, You can find crowded, sandy beaches, remote rocky beaches, beaches with cliffs, beaches with dunes or beaches with crashing surf. Just about anything you want. If what you happen to want is a quiet, gentle beach then go to Coast Guard Beach. This beach is located on the breach of the Great Salt Pond so it's sheltered from most of the huge surf or large waves found on most other Block Island beaches. It has a nice sandy beach area with few rocks and great views of both the ocean and the salt pond. Since it is shallow and protected the water is usually a bit warmer than the chilly open ocean beaches and you don't get quite the howling winds of other spots. It's a great place to hang out but the currant does get pretty feisty at times in the middle of the breach so if you attempt to swim across to the other side you better know what you are doing or you'll probably die. It's a bit tricky to find the beach, you have to first find Coast Guard Road and then park at the old Coast Guard Station. Then look for the little and colorful beach sign. It leads through some bushes and beach roses but after a short walk you'll be at the beach. In the winter you'll have the place all to yourself but in the summer months it can be a bit crowded but never as busy as the town beach or the popular Mohegan Bluffs. Always plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy some peace and quiet. Like all beaches on Block Island there is no admission charge and if something unexpected happens the coast guard station is right next door. This beach is a great little spot to enjoy the smell, sounds and feel of salt water when wind, waves and crowds are a bit too much on the other beaches. A gentle beach
