The Coast Guard House has been in this spot for as long as I can remember (that is long!) It has been rebuilt following hurricanes multiple times. Over the years the food has been good or not so good and right now it is good. Nice place to be that is right by the water.

Block Island is a good day trip. If you like to bike you can rent a bike when you get off the boat and ride around the island stopping in the port for ice cream and a lobster roll. The boats also run in the fall and while everything may not be often it is much less crowded than in the summer.
