During the winter Block Island, located 13 miles south of the coast of Rhode Island, hunkers down against the biting winds of the Atlantic but in the summer the island blooms. People come here for its pristine beaches, absence of glitz, great biking, and Block Island Race Week, a week-long regatta that attracts sailors from all over.
