Island Manor Resort is a family-oriented vacation getaway only 12 miles off the coast of Rhode Island. The island is free of crowds, noise, and glaring neon, and it offers a peaceful escape from it all. Originally inhabited by the Narragansett tribe, Block Island has changed little through the centuries. Rugged cliffs and sandy beaches rim the coast, while emerald hills and more than 300 lakes and ponds dot the inland countryside. Two harbors on the island cater to both pleasure boaters as well as fishers. Sailing, snorkeling, and windsurfing can also be enjoyed nearby.
