Block Island, 12 mi off Rhode Island's southern coast, is 7 mi long and 3 mi wide. With its 17 mi of beaches, it has been a vacation destination since the 19th century. Despite the number of summer visitors and thanks to the efforts of local conservationists, the island's beauty remains intact (more than 40% of the land is preserved); its 365 freshwater ponds support more than 150 species of migrating birds.
