The Year on Block Island: A Recap of 2016

The end of the year is the perfect time to sit back and reflect on great moments and also look forward to great things to come. 2016 was yet another great year for the Block Island Ferry and the Block Island community. This year saw some of our favorite island traditions carried on, as well as some historic new innovations. Through it all, the Ferry was there to guide and bracket all of your island experiences and we couldn’t be more proud to continue in that role.

Christmas on Block Island

A Block Island Christmas getaway is a bit of a “best kept secret” around this time of year. While the summertime gets all of the shine, the cooler seasons often get overlooked.

The History of the Block Island Lighthouses

For anyone familiar with the Island, North and Southeast Lighthouses are the literal pillars of Block Island life, sitting as polar attractions. These days, the lighthouses are two of the monuments that tourists just have to check out when they come for a visit. The rich history is the draw (the views aren’t so bad either!) and both lighthouses are stories onto themselves! Both serve as true symbols to the past, present, and future of Block Island. Due to weather and shifting land, it took a few iterations but the lighthouses, made to help guide and protect mariners, are here to stay.
