Vail Beach, Block Island RI |
|
|
Reached by a narrow ankle-breaker path through Snake Hollow, Vail Beach is rocky,sandy, surfy and never crowded. |

The beaches on the south shore of Block Island are sand, pebbles, stones and rocks backed by cliffs, not the same as the smooth, wide, white sand beaches backed by grass-covered dunes of the east shore. The rocks are both in and out of the water, so you must choose where you want to swim. To reach Vail Beach you must pick your way among the ruts and rocks on a narrow path down Snake Hollow, not a particularly easy walk, and not easily doable with lots of beach paraphernalia. Your reward is a relatively little-visited beach in a more dramatic setting. There are no services whatsoever.
