settler's rock印象

Cool thing to visit if your out and about. I say rent the moped and crise around the island until you find this, If you like history go see it
-
We rented beach cruiser bikes from Moped Man and rode out to Settler's Rock - gorgeous view of the ocean and North Lighthouse. Wonderful and worth it!
-
To think that settlers arrived here with their cows swimming behind was amazing to learn, gives a new perspective on original settlers.
-
Site of the original settlers landing, park here and walk north to the sandspit that forms the north end of the island. You'll pass the north lighthouse, and see the convergence of the waters of Block Island Sound and the open Atlantic Ocean. There are lots of gulls filling the air with their calls, and the pebbly beach is great for finding flotsam. On the changing tide, the current at the end can be dangerous, so stay in knee-deep water or shallower.

We stopped at the rock on the way out to the lighthouse, and except for the presence of the lighthouse, this area likely has changed little since 1661. It is wild and beautiful.

Like most attractions on Block Island this area at the North Light is just teaming with Natural beauty.Settlers Rock marks the spot where the original purchasers and settlers came ashore in 1661. The cove is called Cow Cove.Across from Cow Cove is beautiful Sachem Pond, and if you follow the coastline North just a bit, you will be at the North Lighthouse and the North Point.This piece of property is also a bird sanctuary managed by U.S. Fish and Wildlife.

Ok to look at combine with the walk to lighthouse. Younger groups loved the name of the 9th person to land at that spot on the island.I would suggest scooter car or bike, walking will take a while to get there.

Settler's Rock is just a small historic marker but it is found at the very northern tip of Block Island, a spectacular natural spot where you walk along the rocky beach to the North Light. Great place for star-gazing at night and to see the flickering lights from the mainland. Beautiful.

Historic Landmark that's worth the moped trip to the North End. There's a small parking area to park mopeds and cars so that it's easy to get out and walk to enjoy the surrounding area. A little further down from the rock is the Lighthouse as well. Picturesque area

Settler's Rock is in the parking area for the lighthouse - it is in a very scenic area and is worth taking the time to read. It would be easy to have a picnic between the lighthouse and the rock - very pretty.
