One unique aspect of Block Island is the large interior bay or the Great Salt Pond, as it is referred to locally. This body of water was a large salt pond until a channel was dug in 1895 connecting the pond with the ocean. This is the perfect anchorage for visiting yachts with well protected waters. In the Great Salt Pond, there is plenty of space to anchor and several marinas, if docking is your preference. In fact on busy summer days, the Great Salt Pond has been known to accommodate over 2000 boats, of various sizes.


Block Island - The National Hotel

Block Island has few year around residents, but the population swells in the summer with visitors. Downtown New Shoreham, the island township, and where the ferries dock, is a bustling few blocks, anchored by several large summer hotels that used to cater at the turn of the century to summer visitors. The largest original hotel is The National, now on the National Register of Historic Places. Drop by and you will still find rocking chairs on the long front porch of this old hotel, which is a great place to sit and take in the ocean views. There are several blocks of stores and little shops to visit. Rent a bicycle and ride around the rest of the island, which is still fairly uninhabited, and covered with wild roses.
