Block Island

Block Island (AKA: New Shoreham) is the perfect summer getaway. It’s a secluded, scenic island with an abundant amount of protected areas, public beaches, restaurants, shops, and fun things to do. What more could you ask for, really? It’s a great place to buy a summer home and return to every year for decades to come. The real estate market here tends to be high, but that’s because there are limited options (people hang on to their houses here for generations). That said, the tax rate is very low as well, and there isn’t another place quite like it in Rhode Island. Scenic views, charming downtown area, and quick access back to Narragansett via the ferry.
