Just imagine: Sand between your toes, a soft breeze on your cheek, a cozy bed and breakfast to lounge the days away. You don’t have to hop on a flight to have a memorable honeymoon, just set sail to our own small slice of paradise that is Block Island. We’ve already gathered a sampling of things you can do on your cost-effective yet romantic getaway. 

Book a stay at the Rose Farm Inn.

Not only is this dreamy inn the perfect place for a lazy, sleep-in-until-noon morning, they also have bikes you can use to pedal around the island post-brunch. rosefarminn.com.

Take a hike through Rodman’s Hollow.

Considered the birthplace of conservation on the island, Rodman’s Hollow provides a gorgeous scenic walk sprayed with bayberry bushes. Plus, after your nature-filled hike, you’ll end up at the secluded Black Rock beach, an ideal spot to give your new spouse a smooch.   

Relish in the sights at Mohegan Bluffs.

Show-stopping scenery and rugged bluffs lead to a beach that some say is the most beautiful on the island. Pack a picnic and a bathing suit and soak it all up with your new hubby or wife.

Enjoy a fancy dinner at Restaurant 1879 at the Atlantic Inn.

You can sip a glass of wine and savor your meals slowly at this acclaimed island eatery. With tapas both hot and cold, oysters on the half shell, and dishes like pan-seared duck breast with savoy cabbage and eggplant marmalade, the options are endless. atlanticinn.com.
