Kayaking
Touring New Harbor by kayak is one of the best ways to get a feel for Block Island’s inland waterways. The island’s tidal shoreline was created when a channel was cut into a sandy breachway to make a “New Harbor” in Great Salt Pond. The result is a large, delightful waterway ideal for casual kayaking–a great Block Island family activity.
