Block Island, Rhode Island

Long ignored in favor of much larger (and more fashionable) Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, Block is the wildest and most remote of the offshore isles between Boston and New York City. The wreck of a German U-boat, Victorian-era lighthouses, coastal dunes and sailing regattas count among the treasures of an island that has been cited as an outstanding example of how man can live side-by-side with nature.
