My wife %26amp; I were just there this past weekend. Memorial Day weekend is going to be busy and judging by the weather forcast you are going to have a glorious day. My suggestion would be to take the earliest ferry out of Point Judith which is 9:00am. Biking is a great way to see the island. As far as what to do during the day, there is walking on Crescent Beach from one end to the other, or a bike ride to Settlers Rock and a walk out to North Light. And there is always shopping (according to my wife).

As far as coming back, If you are in Westerly for Monday as well, take the 7:00pm out of Block Island and catch the start of the sunset over the North Light House. It is truly spectacular. Hope this helps.

Thanks - you have been a big help.

We%26#39;ll be sure to not miss the sunset. Thanks for that tip.

We are driving in very, very early on Sat. from NY to spend as much of the day in Westerly (Misquamicut Beach) - staying at the Sandy Shores and then plan on spending the day on Block Island on Sunday and returning home on Monday (mid day).

We hope to make the most of our short stay.

Thanks again!
