Block Island has a way of making everyday moments feel a little more special. If you’re looking for a laid-back, low-key romantic escape, here’s how to do it right.
Start the day with a quiet sunrise on the beach, wrapped in a blanket with a cup of coffee while the sky shifts from soft pink to gold shimmer. In the early morning stillness, it almost feels like you have the whole island to yourselves. Spend the afternoon exploring together…walk along the cliffs, explore a nature trail, or just wander through town, stopping for coffee or checking out local shops. No rush, no schedule, just taking it all in. When golden hour hits, find a good spot—Mohegan Bluffs, Southeast Light, or somewhere by The Great Salt Pond, to watch the sun dip below the horizon…it never gets old!

For dinner, grab a table at a spot that feels right—fresh seafood with an ocean view or something cozy and tucked away. Either way, it’s more about the company than anything else. End the night with a slow stroll through town or head to the beach to watch the stars. There’s something about Block Island at night…the sound of the waves, and the dark sky full of stars that makes it feel like your own little world.
Block Island may be quieter in the winter, with fewer dining and shopping options, but there are still spots to explore. If solitude is what you’re after, this is the time to visit. With a few restaurants, inns and hotels open year-round, it’s easy to turn a day trip into a cozy weekend escape. No matter the season, the island’s quiet charm makes it the perfect place to slow down and soak it all in together.
