Sail away with the Narragansett 20s and 30s for a day trip to Block Island! Spend the day cycling the island, sitting on the beach, hiking the trails, or looking for glass floats. Whether you’d like to explore the whole island or just have a beach day, there is something for your interest here. We will take a morning ferry from Pt. Judith and ride the 45 minutes over to Block Island. At that point, participants are welcome to partake in the activity that fulfills their hearts’ summer desires. The island is small enough to cycle around, and there are many hiking trails along the way. You do not need to bring a bicycle, but it is the best method to get around the island (you can rent a bike once you reach the island). If you decide to bring your own bike, you will need to purchase its own ferry ticket! Note that this is not an official cycling event, but only one of the many options of things to do while on the island.

While on the island be sure to keep your eyes open for any glass floats:

Block Island is full of great restaurants and beautiful panoramic ocean views. Beaches can be crowded but you will be able to find your own space and solitude if you know where to look. Take the opportunity to leave all your troubles behind and explore this iconic Rhode Island gem. A suggested packing list will be provided to confirmed participants, along with a formalized plan for meeting and parking. Note that each registration is for one person only - registration does not cover multiple individuals.
