I would agree with milemarker that fort adams is a great place to go.Anywhere along the wharf facing Jamestown is nice.

I would also agree that a boat tour wouldn't be a bad thing.

Is Aug hot? YES!About 80-90+ each day.That's why I said get out to cliff walk and things early.

The ferry does not take reservations, so get there about 1/2 early at least.

For dinner,I had listed a few and I would try to make reservations at one if you have your heart set on a nice dinner.Newport will be busy in Aug!

Enjoy yourselves!!

Another reason to take the cruise is that at sunset, the mosquitoes get vicious when one is sitting on the grass or on the beach.

Definitely the cruise then, lol no bugs for me!! It will be nice to do anyway. There were 3 mentioned Adirondac ll Rum Runner or Madelene, Anybody have a preference??
We can't get to stay on Block Island without reserving 2 days. Don't know if there is much to see or do for 2 days. We are staying at the Victorian Lady in Newport. Has anyone heard of it?? I hope its within walking distance to the cliff walk or restaurants. Maybe I should try to stay another nite and just come back there after a day at B I.
Are the beaches worthwhile in BI
Thank you all for your help.

I find the beaches on BI to be some of the best!

If memory serves, the Victorian lady is on Memorial right between the harbor (what i consider "town") and the cliffwalk. It'[s a very good location to get to both areas. i've never stayed there and can't comment further, but the location is very good.have a great trip.
