Old Harbor

Old Harbor , located on the east side of Block Island, is just a scenic ferry ride away from mainland Rhode Island. The picturesque harbor, with its Victorian waterfront, is filled with yachts and boats, which isn’t surprising as Old Harbor is one of New England’s premier boating destinations. It’s a safe harbor, protected by a breakwater. Once shoreside, you’ll find seafood restaurants, shops and quaint inns to stay in while you explore this historic district of Block Island’s resort community of New Shoreham. New Shoreham is considered one of the prettiest cities in New England.
