Spring is different around the world but New England, particularly Block Island, truly comes to life as winter starts to go away and the sunshine starts to take over.

With its rich history, boutique shopping, laid back culture, and creative pub food, Block Island is a fascinating place to be right now. Spring awakens the senses, including the sense of adventure.

If it’s all about the water for you, you’ll feel right at home on the island’s shores. Let your seaside adventure take place as you walk the island’s sandy beaches or take a dip as the weather warms. You’ll have your choice of where to park your cooler and chair at any of the beaches. No crowds this time of year. You can even fish or sail at sunset. There’s something for every taste.

For those of you who would rather bike and hike, I envy your energy. You’ll find the island’s hiking trails and bike tours suitable for all levels of expertise.

Once the day’s adventures come to an end, you’ll need a place to stay. A place to call home while on vacation. A place with a friendly face welcoming you back. Neptune House.
