Though the lighthouse was closed, the walk along the coast and down to the spit was gorgeous.

Be ready to get some exercise when you go to the North Lighthouse located on the extreme north tip of Block Island. The road stops will short of your destination, and you must hike along the beach on sand or river rocks. The North Lighthouse itself is an impressive structure built of granite blocks and displaying a recently renovated tower.... More

Whether you bike, moped or drive, make the trip to the North Lighthouse. You need to park and then walk. It's a trek but if you can stand it, do it. Since no vehicles can be taken out there, only a few people make the walk. And the beaches around the lighthouse seems as if no one has walked on... More

It took us about 45 min to bike ride from the ferry port, great time to sight see and spend family time. It is a long walk from the point where you have to leave your bike or car. Great Views!!! Price is resonable.

I visited Block Island for Memorial Day...Driving all the way from Albany NY to park directly in the parking lot near the Ferry Terminal. Took the ferry from there, and was at BI in 30 mins using the High-Speed Ferry. The weather was perfect, partly cloudy - that helped us keep cool while biking around the island, and partly sunny...

This was a great bike ride. Not too hilly with quiet and beautiful roads. It was foggy when we arrived and the lighthouse and pond were beautiful in it! We walked on the beach and had a picnic while the fog burned off. It's also a great walk on the beach and the lighthouse was just recently refinished and looks... More

Definitely worth the trip. There is a gorgeous view, and the lighthouse is great. We rode our rental scooters there, but lots of other people rode their bikes as well. On the walk to the lighthouse, there is a beautiful beach. Great spot to take photos!

North Lighthouse is a light at the very northern tip of the island, It can be reached by going all the way to the end of Corn Neck Road. It's on the bottom of a huge hill with a lot of sand and rocks so if you are on a bike beware. There have been some bad bike accidents at... More
